As of the beginning of May 2025, 47% of Ukrainians had rather positive expectations from the signing of the US Minerals Agreement. This is according to a sociological survey conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology.
Rather negative consequences were reported by 22%, while another 19% said that the signing of the Agreement would have no impact on Ukraine. The remaining 12% were undecided.Thus, the balance of positive and negative expectations is currently +25% (i.e., positive expectations prevail).
There are slightly fewer positive expectations in the East and in the West, although in both cases the share of those with negative expectations does not exceed a quarter, and the balance of positive-negative expectations is positive (and we should also take into account the rather small sample in each region).
