Ukraine’s 2026 budget allocates UAH 1.9B for U.S.–Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund

This was reported on Telegram by Yaroslav Zhelezniak, a member of parliament from the Holos (Voice) faction, while commenting on the government-approved draft budget for 2026.

These funds are intended to fulfill Ukraine’s commitments under the bilateral agreement with the United States to establish a special investment mechanism for the country’s recovery after Russian aggression.

As reported by Ukrinform, on May 1, 2025, Ukraine and the U.S. signed a minerals agreement. Among its main provisions is the creation of the Reconstruction Investment Fund, which will be jointly managed on equal terms by Ukraine and the United States. The fund will be financed by both countries on a 50/50 basis.

The Ministry of Economy, together with representatives of the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), visited deposits in Kirovohrad region, which may potentially become the first investment sites under the U.S.–Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund.
