Ukraine PM says she feels more confident of US support after visit to Washington

Svyrydenko said the talks advanced a joint investment fund, an $8 billion International Monetary Fund loan and continued Group of Seven support.

  • On Thursday, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko concluded her Washington visit, describing Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent as "very supportive" during positive meetings on economic and security issues.
  • Svyrydenko emphasized that sanctions imposed against Russia four years ago following its full-scale invasion must not be weakened or postponed to keep pressure on the country.
  • The U.S.-Ukrainian Reconstruction Investment Fund approved its first project last month and expects to greenlight a second energy-sector initiative this summer, having received over 200 applications.
  • Progress includes an $8 billion IMF loan approved in February, while elections removing Prime Minister Viktor Orban from Hungary may unlock a blocked 90 billion euro EU package.
  • Ukraine continues its "irreversible" push to join the European Union, with Svyrydenko arguing the nation deserves "fast track" integration after fighting to defend its sovereignty.
