Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on September 25, stated that he held “an important conversation with presidents and CEOs of leading American companies,” focused on expanding investment in Ukraine and supporting the economy, according to his official Telegram account
He added that Kyiv “continues reforms, moves toward EU membership, and is developing strong drone production and more than 300 technology companies,” noting that “dozens of large companies are ready to become our partners.”
“The Investment Fund for the Reconstruction of Ukraine has already started—initial contributions amount to 150 million US dollars,” Zelenskyy wrote, thanking those “who invest, supply equipment and technology, and become stronger together with Ukraine.”
He also expressed gratitude to the United States and argued that “only strength will force the Russian leader to sit down at the negotiating table.”
Washington and Kyiv formally established the United States–Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund on April 30, 2025, according to the US Treasury. The initiative is designed to channel capital into Ukraine’s recovery and private-sector growth.
In a subsequent update, the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) said it had “kickstarted” the fund with a $75 million seed investment, matched by Ukraine—bringing initial commitments to $150 million.
“These investments will create jobs in both countries and enable American and Ukrainian companies to work together,” DFC said.
Earlier, it was reported that the United States and Ukraine are investing $150 million into a joint Reconstruction Investment Fund aimed at gas, critical minerals, energy, technology, and infrastructure projects.
