The United States and Ukraine have established a joint investment fund aimed at bolstering Ukraine's economic recovery. This agreement, finalized in April 2025, marks a collaborative partnership designed to benefit both nations through strategic investments within Ukraine.
Key Aspects of the Agreement
Under the agreement, the United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund will be jointly managed, ensuring an equal partnership. Ukraine will retain full ownership and control of its natural resources, determining the scope and location of mineral extraction. The United States will contribute to the fund through financial assistance and potential military aid.
The fund will receive 50% of revenues from newly issued licenses for critical minerals, oil, and gas. For the first decade, all returns will be reinvested in Ukraine to support reconstruction and strategic projects. This initiative aims to attract further private sector investment and facilitate Ukraine's long-term economic growth.
The agreement emphasizes transparency and mutual accountability, with both countries working together to allocate fund resources. It reflects a commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty and its integration into the global economy.
