The parties discussed economic cooperation between the states, as well as financial assistance to Ukraine for 2026.

"The Government of Ukraine supports without question the conclusion of an economic partnership agreement between the American and Ukrainian peoples and the establishment of an investment recovery fund. Our negotiating teams continue to work actively, as stipulated in the signed memorandum. The negotiating teams will report on progress by April 26 this year," Shmygal stressed.
