US-Ukraine Reconstruction Fund Launches with $150 Million for Key Projects
The US-Ukraine Investment Fund for Reconstruction has launched operations with $150 million for projects in Ukraine
The Gaze reports on it, referring to a statement made by Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko on Telegram.
The US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) has made its first contribution to the US-Ukraine Investment Fund for Reconstruction in the amount of $75 million, which Ukraine will double with its own contribution. Thus, the total amount of the fund will be $150 million.
“This is another important step in the process of launching the Fund's full-fledged operation, and as of today, we can announce that operational work has begun,” Svyrydenko wrote.
The Fund will primarily finance projects in the energy, infrastructure, and critical minerals sectors, with three key projects planned for implementation by the end of 2026.
According to Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, the US-Ukraine Investment Fund for Reconstruction is based on the principle of equality: the Ukrainian and American sides assume equal financial obligations, which emphasizes the joint nature of the initiative and long-term cooperation.
The launch of the Fund paves the way for the creation of modern production facilities, new jobs, and technological solutions that will strengthen Ukraine's economy and security.
“This start-up capital has additional meaning for us: American investments can become a reliable guarantee of security for both Ukraine and American businesses in our country,” concluded the Prime Minister of Ukraine.
As The Gaze explained earlier, the US-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund is a joint initiative to channel funding into Ukraine’s post-war recovery, focusing on critical mineral development, infrastructure, and technological projects.
Both countries contribute assets—Ukraine through rights to new mineral deposits, and the US through financial and technical assistance contracts. The Fund is designed to attract private and public investment while safeguarding Ukraine’s sovereignty over its resources.
