He added that further online and inperson discussions would continue until the end of the week.
Following these consultations, both sides are expected to present what they have developed.
Background On 11 April US and Ukrainian officials met to discuss Washingtons proposal to access Ukraines mineral resources.
However, media reports say prospects for a breakthrough were minimal due to what was described as an antagonistic atmosphere.
During the technical consultations in Washington, the Ukrainian delegation submitted Kyivs proposals to the US side.
Earlier, European Pravda reported that the administration of US President Donald Trump had returned to the version of the subsoil agreement a requirement for Ukraine to reimburse all the assistance that the US provided after the start of Russias fullscale invasion in 2022.
