KYIV, March 28 (Reuters) - A Ukrainian deputy prime minister said on Friday that Kyiv would issue its position on a new draft minerals deal drawn up by the United States once there was consensus, and cautioned against public discussion of the text.
The official, Yulia Svyrydenko, said that any such discussion was harmful and prevented "constructive" discussion taking place with the United States.
She was answering questions from lawmakers in Ukraine's parliament. The remarks were broadcast on social media by a lawmaker, Oleksii Honcharenko.
