WASHINGTON — The on again, off again support of the beleaguered Ukrainian nation from the United States is back on again, and this time in full force, as a “historic partnership” commences with the signing of the United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund.
“President Trump is the ultimate dealmaker!” swooned Iowa Senator Joni Ernst after the deal was announced.
“This historic partnership sends a clear message to Russia that the United States is committed to an end to Putin’s bloody war and long-term peace and prosperity in Ukraine.”
On April 30, the United States and Ukraine signed an agreement to establish the United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund. In recognition of the significant financial and material support that the people of the United States have provided to the defense of Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion, this economic partnership positions our two countries to work collaboratively and invest together to ensure that our mutual assets, talents, and capabilities can accelerate Ukraine’s economic recovery.
Under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, the Treasury Department and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) will work together with the Government of Ukraine to finalize program governance and advance this important partnership.
“Thanks to President Trump’s tireless efforts to secure a lasting peace, I am glad to announce the signing of today’s historic economic partnership agreement between the United States and Ukraine establishing the United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund,” said U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. “As the President has said, the United States is committed to helping facilitate the end of this cruel and senseless war. This agreement signals clearly to Russia that the Trump Administration is committed to a peace process centered on a free, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine over the long term. President Trump envisioned this partnership between the American people and the Ukrainian people to show both sides’ commitment to lasting peace and prosperity in Ukraine. And to be clear, no state or person who financed or supplied the Russian war machine will be allowed to benefit from the reconstruction of Ukraine.”
Both the United States and the Government of Ukraine look forward to quickly operationalizing this historic economic partnership for both the Ukrainian and American people.
After the deal was signed, Ukraine President Zelensky released a statement:
Today, our government team reported on the economic partnership with the United States. We have an agreement. It has been signed and will be submitted to the Verkhovna Rada for ratification. And we are interested in having no delays with it.

It couldn’t be more obvious that she’s being threatened and blackmailed by Dump’s criminal cronies. She and Grassley both.
Oh Joni, he is the ultimate idiot, but not ultimate deal maker. Your fealty to him will come at a price.
You threatening her? Who do you think you are Schumer.
Nope, just telling her that the next election she is in will be a tough one
