“Today, Ukraine and the United States have finalized all procedures for the launch of the US–Ukraine Reconstruction Fund.

The final step—a diplomatic note from the United States–which I received personally this morning from US Chargé d’Affaires Julie S. Davis.

The Fund is now officially launched. I want to thank everyone who made this possible.

Our negotiating team delivered on the mandate set by President Zelenskyy: we have established a true partnership—built on equality, respect for Ukraine’s national interests, and joint governance with the United States.

The Fund is a symbol of long-term strategic commitment. Together, Ukraine and the United States will invest in the recovery and growth of our country—on terms that protect our sovereignty and empower our future,” the post by the Ukrainian official reads.
