U.S.-Ukraine Recovery Fund to Decide on First Grants in March After Receiving 60 Proposals.

Funding Applications Submitted to the U.S.-Ukraine Recovery Fund

According to TSN.ua: The U.S.-Ukraine Recovery Fund has received over 60 applications for project funding, with 37 of those submitted by Ukrainian companies. The proposals target investment in the following key sectors:

• Energy
• Infrastructure
• Critical Minerals
• Innovative Technologies

The Fund's governing board is scheduled to make its initial funding decisions by the end of March.

Ukrainian Business Potential

Currently, one project is being prepared for due diligence review, with two others in the initial evaluation phase. The Fund's roadmap includes signing at least three investment agreements by 2026.

Yulia Svyrydenko noted: 'To date, the Fund has received over 60 applications, 37 of which are from Ukrainian companies. These are investment proposals in energy, infrastructure, critical minerals, and innovative technologies. The Fund's governing bodies are to decide on financing the first initiatives by the end of March.'

The fund was established following an agreement signed in April 2025 between Ukraine and the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, with the goal of supporting the development of vital sectors of the Ukrainian economy. This initiative represents a significant public-private partnership aimed at fostering long-term economic resilience.

The strong response from applicants highlights the active search by Ukrainian businesses for capital to develop core economic sectors, underscoring the country's potential despite ongoing challenges. Financing these initiatives could not only aid infrastructure recovery but also strengthen Ukraine's energy independence, a crucial consideration amid shifting global energy dynamics.
