(Reuters) – A senior Ukrainian official said on Wednesday that she had signed an agreement on creating a U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund which would allow both countries to expand their economic potential and also contribute to Ukraine’s security.
“Together with the United States, we are creating the Fund that will attract global investment into our country,” First Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko wrote on X.
“Its implementation allows both countries to expand their economic potential through equal cooperation and investment,” she wrote. “The United States will contribute to the fund. In addition to direct financial contributions, it may also provide NEW assistance — for example air defense systems for Ukraine.”
