As the Prime Minister confirmed, in this agreement “there is no longer a debt of 500 billion dollars.

The future agreement between Ukraine and the United States on the creation of the Investment Recovery Fund, which is being prepared for signing , will have six key positions. This was announced by the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal during a government meeting.

“Soon Ukraine will take an important step in the implementation of this Victory Plan – an agreement will be signed with the United States of America on the creation of an investment fund and restoration. As a result of the work of the negotiating teams, this agreement has become significantly better,” Shmyhal said.

As the Prime Minister confirmed, in this agreement “there is no longer a debt of 500 billion dollars, or any other, there is no longer an unfair clause that for every dollar of new aid Ukraine must give two dollars, there are no unfair positions that the fund will belong only to America.”

“Now we are talking about joint ownership of the fund by Ukraine and America,” Shmyhal added.

At the same time, as the head of government noted, Ukraine will have six key positions in the agreement.

These positions are as follows:

• First, Ukraine and the United States are creating a Recovery Investment Fund, which will be jointly owned and managed by the governments of both our countries.
• Secondly, Ukrainian mineral resources and mineral wealth remain Ukrainian; they are not transferred to the ownership of the United States or anyone else.
• Third, Ukraine will contribute 50% of future revenues from its natural resource assets to the Fund.
• Fourth, the United States will make contributions to the Fund in the form of funds, financial instruments, and other assets that are critical to the recovery of Ukraine.
• Fifth, the funds collected by the Fund will be invested exclusively in projects for the restoration of Ukraine. In fact, we are talking about a Fund for future generations of Ukrainians.
• Sixth, another important emphasis – the agreement takes into account our obligations within the framework of the European integration process. According to Shmyhal, no contradictions or contradictions with Ukrainian European integration obligations will arise.

“Thus, as a result of signing the agreement, Ukraine receives a double benefit. We attract American investments and technologies to the restoration of Ukraine and accumulate resources for the implementation of strategic projects for the well-being of every Ukrainian man and woman,” Shmyhal said.

The Prime Minister explained that today the government is making the necessary decisions to sign the agreement between Ukraine and the United States.
