The mineral agreement with the U.S. is indefinite, PM Shmyhal says. However, after 10 years, both sides may review profit-sharing terms and choose to extend or end the deal by mutual agreement.

In my opinion this is the worst part of the deal. To have the deal indefinite is pure madness. Moreover Ukraine already has one “indefinite deal” with US signed. Called Budapest memorandum.
Part of the contract can be renegotiated. However only if both sides agree. The contract however can not be terminated. So the contract is indefinite. As are the terms if one sides decides they should be indefinite.
The deal itself doesn’t matter, deals change all the time, especially where Trump is concerned. The most important thing is that the USA is invested in Ukraine now, and Americans always look after their own interests.

Btw 10 years will take only for building basic infrastructure for mining minerals.
They either agree to extend and revise terms, end, or they don't agree and the existing deal sticks forever ...
Also, if Mob country will want to go back to free world, they have to undo a whole "Trump age".
If that were true, Krasnov would have been executed years ago
