The United States and Ukraine have agreed terms on a minerals deal that is central to Kyiv's push to win U.S. support as President Donald Trump seeks to rapidly end the war with Russia, two sources with knowledge of the matter said on Tuesday.

The agreement comes after a war of words between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, whom Trump last week called an unpopular "dictator" who needed to cut a quick peace deal or lose his country.
