KYIV, Sept 1 (Reuters) – Ukraine announced its representatives for the six-member governing council of the joint Reconstruction Investment Fund with the U.S. on Monday, with the country’s prime minister saying the first meeting would take place on Wednesday.
The three men representing Ukraine on the council will be economy minister Oleksiy Sobolev, his deputy Yehor Perelyhin, and Oleksandr Karasevych — a top civil servant from the foreign ministry.
“The first meeting of the Council is scheduled for 3 September. At this meeting, the fund’s council will determine the principles for selecting projects and other operational procedures,” Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko wrote on Telegram.
The agreement on developing Ukraine’s mineral resources, heavily promoted by U.S. President Donald Trump, was signed by Svyrydenko in Washington in April after weeks of tough negotiations made the terms more favourable to Kyiv.
