US Contribution: The United States will contribute to the Fund with both direct financial resources and potentially additional assistance, such as air defense systems for Ukraine.

Investment Focus: The Fund will invest in projects related to the extraction of minerals, oil, and gas, as well as infrastructure and processing projects associated with these industries. Ukraine and the U.S. will jointly determine the specific projects to be funded.

Profit Allocation: For the first ten years, any profits or funds generated by the Investment Fund will not be distributed but instead will all be reinvested into Ukraine for new projects or reconstruction. Specific terms for these reinvestments will be negotiated in the future.
