From reading this over the groundwork laid by this agreement is very impressive and fair for both parties. It addresses some very basic but also typically hard to navigate areas like the existing infrastructure and Ukraine's EU ascension. Not only did Ukraine pull of security guarantees but they also had the mention of giving up their nuclear arsenal.
U.S. funds are likely to come from BlackRock given there huge deal they signed with Ukraine a couple of years ago to help with the rebuild. This will also help the US out by keeping China out of Ukraine to access their rare earths. I imagine Putin is absolutely losing his shit over this. Love him, hate him it doesnt matter Trump is a businessman and Ukraine came to an agreement with the US that is a deal not even Russia could match.

It is not directly addressed however based off the known critical minerals I do not think so. The Donbass is extremely rich and Crimea is also rich with hydrocarbons so based off of what I am reading in this back to Ukraine's original borders before the 2014 Crimea invasion

Where are you reading this? Ukraine and Russia have a different border line in their Google maps. Russia now insists its borders are defined in the constitution to include even some unoccupied areas.
This agreement won't stop the war, unless USA is willing to put their troops on the ground.

Um the border Russia claims are only recognized by I think 2 countries… North Korea and Cuba so not exactly ya know solid base there. Not to mention Russia claims areas that they have been either been driven from or have never even occupied. Russia is going to continue to blow hard but rare earths mean way to much to the US.
Only thing saving Russia is India using the old Soviet system to purchase oil without getting in trouble but at the pace of the oil markets collapse its not going to be helpful. Russian arms exports are falling because there stuff sucks.
Ukraine this year has brought the war into Russia with the drone attacks and its screwing with citizens. You can see on telegraph the complaints and the damage being done to oil and gas infrastructure. Russia is shooting their own allies planes out of the sky in areas where drones aren't even present.
Throw in Putin supercharged the Russia population cliff the country is toast.
