Zelenskyy named the amount needed for Ukraine's post-war reconstruction
The Head of State noted that after the meetings held in the United States, issues of the economy, security, and possible compromises can be discussed more broadly - with the participation of the entire negotiating team.
Regarding the economy, we have many plans there. The main aspects and directions are our national goals: life expectancy, the return of refugees, new jobs, and security guarantees, then the direction of market access and accession to the European Union. We have goals and strategies for macroeconomic stability.

President of Ukraine
According to him, the Ukrainian authorities currently estimate that "some 700-800 billion" dollars are needed for post-war reconstruction. The head of state noted that "there is a strategy for a larger amount," but, he said, he "does not want to talk about it in more detail yet."
In my opinion, it is important that we have a common vision with America, that we will create several funds. There will be a fund for the reconstruction of Ukraine, there will be a sovereign investment platform for Ukraine, there will be a fund for the development of Ukraine, a fund for the growth and opportunities of Ukraine. And we plan to have a US-Ukrainian investment fund for reconstruction. And the groups are also discussing the issues of a human capital fund and support for return.
