Presidential Office Head Andriy Yermak suggested that Donald Trump representatives use frozen Russian assets to launch a new investment fund. This was reported by our source at the President's office.
According to the interlocutor, Bankova seeks to intercept the initiative in the diplomatic direction. The use of confiscated Russian funds to create a special development fund of Ukraine, consider in OP, could become a compromise model, which at the same time does not provide direct budget financing by Washington.
“It could be a fund under US control, with the potential participation of private investors. Yermak believes that it could be interested in Trump - to give him a political and financial instrument of influence without spending the funds of taxpayers of the United States, ”the source said.
The proposal also stipulates that such an initiative could give Ukraine an advantage for a peaceful track - OP expects that the economic model of recovery will be an important argument in possible negotiations.
It is not known at this time how the Trump team came to the initiative. However, it is known that the confiscation of Russian assets has become relevant against the background of the latest decisions of the US Congress and the G7 summit.
