The text manages to be quite surprising to me.

There was talk about USA wanting a share of Ukraine’s mineral wealth, but this agreement looks more like an agreement about funding of Ukraine’s reconstruction. It says that half of all income that Ukraine will free from the Russia will have to be put in this fund, but if the fund will be used for reconstructing Ukraine, how does this benefit USA?

Maybe it can be used for building mines for American companies, for them to use for free? Or maybe the fund can be liquidated and the money shared between Ukraine and USA?

But, my untrained eye cannot really recognize whatever shenanigans there might be hidden in the text.

    Seems problematic that it would be revenue based and not profit based?

    If they have to give up half of the revenue, things might not be profitable to run after having to cover all their expenses.
