The Trump administration and the Ukrainian government finalized a deal creating a joint fund to boost the reconstruction of the war-torn nation, calling for investment in Kyiv’s oil, gas and rare mineral industries.
Ukraine Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko posted on X that the fund would be managed 50/50 and that future military aid from Washington could be considered a contribution.
A framework agreement had been circulated for at least two months and was thought be close to finalization Feb. 28. However, on that day, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky got into an Oval Office shouting match with President Trump and Vice President JD Vance and left without the agreement being signed.
