The United States and Ukraine recently collaborated to host the second U.S.-Ukraine Partnership Forum in Washington, D.C. During the event, Special Representative for Ukraine’s Economic Recovery Penny Pritzker emphasized the importance of solidifying Ukraine's economic future, stating, "The United States is supporting Ukraine's economic resilience through key sectors, such as infrastructure, energy, and manufacturing."
The Forum brought together leaders in business, government, and policy to explore ways to help Ukraine recover from the impacts of Russia's ongoing conflict. Under Secretary for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment Jose W. Fernandez moderated a panel focused on removing barriers to investment, highlighting the reforms needed to advance Ukraine's integration and encourage private investment. Coordinator for U.S. Assistance to Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia Maria Longi discussed Ukraine's economic priorities and how donors and the private sector can provide support for sustainable economic development.
The United States has shown its commitment to Ukraine's recovery by providing significant financial assistance. Assistant Secretary for Energy Resources Geoffrey R. Pyatt leads efforts to coordinate international aid for Ukraine's energy system, a critical component of the country's economic recovery.
Recognizing the essential role of the private sector in Ukraine's economic revitalization, U.S. leaders and partners acknowledged the need for dynamic private sector participation. The United States plans to continue engaging with the private sector to identify new opportunities for investment in Ukraine's economy.
