Potential US investment raises both hopes and fears in Ukrainian mining town

The US is reported to be seeking new, more favourable, terms in return for investing in Ukraine’s valuable minerals sector, which has an estimated worth of  over $11 trillion.  France 24’s reporters went to visit one of Ukraine’s mining towns to see how people there view a potential deal with the US.
