Ukraine Completes Internal Procedures for U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund
Ukraine has officially completed all internal procedures required to launch the U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund, a key mechanism designed to attract American investment for Ukraine’s post-war recovery under US-Ukraine minerals deal, The Gaze reports.
During a meeting in Kyiv, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy Yuliia Svyrydenko handed over an official diplomatic note to Julie Davis, the U.S. Chargé d’Affaires in Ukraine, confirming Ukraine’s readiness to move forward.
“Today, I met with Yulia Svyrydenko. She handed over Ukraine’s official note confirming the completion of internal procedures regarding the U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund. We welcome this important step and look forward to further joint progress,” Ambassador Davis wrote on X.
Under the deal, U.S. investors gain priority access to Ukrainian projects involving critical raw materials such as aluminum, graphite, oil, and natural gas. A joint reconstruction investment fund will receive the revenues, with full Ukrainian ownership and no debt obligations involved.
As The Gaze previously reported, a landmark agreement grants Washington privileged access to Kyiv’s natural resources, in a move aimed at reinforcing bilateral ties and sustaining American engagement in Ukraine’s post-war recovery efforts.
Ukraine expects the United States to make the first contribution to the newly created joint investment fund aimed at supporting Ukraine’s reconstruction and economic development.
Ukraine’s parliament has ratified a landmark agreement with the United States that establishes a joint investment fund for mineral extraction and post-war reconstruction.
In a related development, as The Gaze reported, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said President Donald Trump sees the recently signed minerals agreement with Ukraine as a strategic tool to strengthen pressure on the Kremlin in the context of future peace talks.
