US and Ukraine Launch Joint Investment Fund for Reconstruction in 2025

On April 30, 2025, the United States and Ukraine officially signed an agreement to establish the United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund. This agreement marks a significant step in strengthening the economic partnership between the two countries, with the aim of accelerating Ukraine's economic recovery. The fund is designed to facilitate collaborative investments, leveraging the assets and capabilities of both nations. Under the agreement, the fund will be jointly managed by the United States and Ukraine on an equal basis. Ukraine will retain full ownership of its natural resources, deciding on the extraction and utilization of these resources. The fund will receive 50% of revenues from new licenses for critical materials, oil, and gas projects. These revenues are expected to be reinvested in Ukraine for the first decade, fostering economic growth and job creation. The U.S. contribution to the fund may include financial assistance and new military aid. This initiative underscores the commitment of both countries to a lasting peace and a prosperous future for Ukraine. The partnership aims to bring transparency and accountability, ensuring that the benefits of Ukraine's reconstruction are shared by both the Ukrainian and American people.
