Ukraine just locked in a major money move with the U.S. — and it’s not just about rebuilding… it’s about making bank together.
On April 30, Kyiv and Washington shook hands on a brand-new economic and reconstruction agreement that mixes war recovery with cold, hard capitalism.
The deal? A joint U.S.-Ukraine fund to pull in global investors and pump cash into Ukraine’s battered infrastructure — while also digging into the country’s juicy stash of natural resources.
We’re talkin’ lithium, titanium, rare earths — the stuff tech giants drool over.
Here’s the kicker: Ukraine agreed to pour 50% of future profits and royalties from new mining and drilling permits straight into this fund. And yes, the U.S. gets a serious seat at that money table.
Yulia Svyrydenko, Ukraine’s Economy Minister, said it’s a 50/50 split — and there’s no new debt being taken on. “It’s a partnership,” she told reporters. “Not a loan, not a burden.”
Smart move for a country that’s been under siege and still trying to bounce back.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering — former President Trump reportedly wanted Ukraine to “pay back” past U.S. aid. This ain’t that. No IOUs here, but the U.S. will get first dibs on the next big mineral booms.
So yeah, this isn’t just a cleanup job. It’s a power play. Ukraine’s betting on its land, and the U.S. is all-in on the table.
Now it’s up to Ukraine’s Parliament to make it official. But if this goes through, it’s not just about rebuilding roads — it’s about building wealth.
