How will the U.S.-Ukraine Investment Fund work?

The Minister of Economy of Ukraine, Yulia Svyrydenko, has clarified how the Fund will work:

1/n

2/ 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.

3/ Ukraine will contribute 50% of state budget revenues from new rent on new licenses for new areas. Ukraine may also make additional contributions beyond this baseline if it chooses. This is cooperation designed to last for decades.

4/ The Fund will then invest in extraction projects for critical materials, oil, and gas — as well as in related infrastructure and processing.

5/ Specific investment projects will be selected jointly by Ukraine and the United States. Importantly, the Fund may invest exclusively in Ukraine.

6/ It is expected that for the first 10 years, Fund profits and revenues will not be distributed, but instead reinvested into Ukraine — into new projects and reconstruction. These terms will be subject to further discussion.

7/ The agreement provides mutually beneficial conditions for both countries. It is an agreement that reaffirms the U.S. commitment to Ukraine’s security, recovery, and reconstruction.

The U.S.-Ukraine deal is a major political and diplomatic victory for Ukraine. It gives Trump a domestic win, fostering a more positive stance toward Ukraine, and opens the door to renewed U.S. military aid.

1/n

2/ Thanks to the incredible efforts of the Ukrainian team, an initial extortionate proposal was transformed into a balanced agreement for future joint cooperation.

Trump has agreed to a cash weapons sale to Ukraine, partially lifting the hold on U.S. military aid. This comes right after Ukraine and the United States signed a historic agreement.

Is this extortion of Ukraine?

1/n

2/ Probably yes. Trump is taking advantage of Ukraine’s vulnerable position.

Is this good for Ukraine?

Probably yes. Having the United States as a strategic partner provides a degree of security and assurance of military assistance.

3/ Is this good for the United States?

Absolutely. With Trump’s approval ratings at historically low levels, even a modest positive development is politically beneficial for him.

A U.S. bill introducing new sanctions against russia is supported by 72 senators (only 51 are needed to pass).

The bill proposes 500% tariffs on imports from countries that purchase russian oil, natural gas, or uranium.
