Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko announced that the Ukrainian team held negotiations with representatives of US President Donald Trump and American investors.
The meeting included Trump representatives Jared Kushner and Steven Witkoff, World Bank President Ajay Banga, and BlackRock CEO Larry Fink.
"A joint working group has been formed. Its primary task is to develop an action plan in the shortest possible time. The Ukrainian team is ready to work as intensively as our American partners are ready to work. Economic plans have every chance of successful implementation if ironclad security guarantees work, as representatives of the United States stated at the meeting," Svyrydenko wrote.
Media outlets reported in January that BlackRock halted fundraising for a multibillion-dollar Ukraine reconstruction fund following Trump's election victory. The negotiations were suspended allegedly due to lack of investor interest amid growing uncertainty about Ukraine's future.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently announced that BlackRock head Larry Fink was part of the American team working on a document regarding Ukraine's reconstruction and economic recovery.
Zelenskyy emphasized that overall security would determine economic security and form the foundation of a safe business environment.
