Ukraine is actively negotiating with the United States to secure funding ranging from $700 to $800 billion for the extensive reconstruction of the country following the end of the war. Within the framework of a peace plan developed by Kyiv in collaboration with Washington, a comprehensive set of measures is proposed to restore infrastructure, the economy, and the social sector.

Roadmap for Prosperity by 2040
As stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the parties are currently developing a detailed roadmap for Ukraine’s prosperity by 2040. This document will reflect a shared vision for the country’s development, including key social and economic indicators. In particular, it addresses increasing the life expectancy of Ukrainians, creating conditions for the return of refugees, growing GDP per capita, generating new jobs, and ensuring macroeconomic stability and security guarantees.
“There are expectations regarding life expectancy, the return of refugees, GDP per capita, and new jobs. There are also security guarantees, access to markets, and EU membership. We have goals and strategies for macroeconomic stability,” the president noted.
Creation of Investment Funds for Reconstruction
An important part of the cooperation between Ukraine and the U.S. will be the establishment of several joint funds. Among them are the Ukraine Reconstruction Fund, the Sovereign Investment Platform, the Development Fund, the Growth and Opportunities Fund, as well as a separate U.S.-Ukrainian investment fund aimed at attracting investments specifically for reconstruction. Additionally, the creation of a Human Capital Fund and support for the process of returning citizens who were forced to leave the country due to the war is being considered.
It is expected that the implementation of these initiatives will enable Ukraine not only to restore its destroyed infrastructure but also to ensure sustainable economic development, strengthen its position in international markets, and accelerate integration into the European Union.
