Hi, from CNN. This is Madeline Thompson with five things you need to know for Wednesday, April 30th.

The U.S. and Ukraine have signed a deal that will give Washington access to Kyiv's rare earth

minerals in exchange for establishing an investment fund in Ukraine.

It's been in the work since Trump took office and involved weeks of intense negotiations

that at times turned bitter and temporarily derailed

Washington's aid to Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was expected to strike the deal during his trip

to Washington in February, but the agreement was left unsigned after a contentious meeting

in the Oval Office.

A key sticking point of the negotiations was Trump's initial refusal to provide security

guarantees, saying he wanted Ukraine to sign the agreement first and talk about guarantees later.

Kiev's allies have long-eyed the country's mineral riches. Ukraine has deposits of 22 of the

50 materials classed as critical by the U.S. Geological Survey. For nearly two months,

Israel has carried out a total siege of Gaza, refusing to allow in a single truck of humanitarian aid

or commercial goods. Israel says it cut off the entry of humanitarian aid to pressure Hamas to

release hostages. But international organizations say its actions violate international law, with some accusing

Israel of using starvation as a weapon of war, a war crime.
