Ukraine, U.S. discuss reconstruction, energy cooperation, new sanctions on Russia

According to Ukrinform, Svyrydenko reported this on Telegram.

“We discussed the work of the U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund, which is an effective tool for attracting American investment to Ukraine. The Fund’s investment adviser – Alvarez & Marsal – has already been appointed. The next step will be identifying priority projects for implementation,” Svyrydenko noted.

The parties also paid particular attention to cooperation in the energy sector and to expanding Ukraine’s ability to purchase U.S. LNG to meet domestic demand and strengthen Europe’s energy security.

“I welcomed the American sanctions against Russia’s key and affiliated oil companies. These measures are effective and have a tangible impact on the revenues of the aggressor state that finances the war against Ukraine,” Svyrydenko said.

She expressed gratitude for the United States’ financial support, which contributes to Ukraine’s resilience and stability.

“For us, it is important to preserve existing financial instruments that support Ukraine’s macro-financial stability – including through World Bank mechanisms – as well as the approval of a new IMF program for Ukraine for 2026-2029 and the acceleration of the Reparations Loan mechanism,” Svyrydenko emphasized.

She added that constructive work with American partners continues, grounded in the efforts of the Presidents of Ukraine and the United States to establish a just peace for Ukraine.

As reported, Svyrydenko and Neil Crompton, the UK’s Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Ukraine, previously discussed ways to ensure Ukraine’s financial stability through various mechanisms, including a new IMF program, ERA loans, and a reparations loan.
