BILATERAL AGREEMENT ESTABLISHING TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR A RECONSTRUCTION INVESTMENT FUND

WHEREAS the United States of America has provided significant financial and material support to Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022;

WHEREAS the American people desire to invest alongside Ukraine in a free, sovereign and secure Ukraine;

WHEREAS the United States of America and Ukraine desire a lasting peace in Ukraine and a durable partnership between their two peoples and governments;

WHEREAS the United States of America and Ukraine recognize the contribution that Ukraine has made to strengthening international peace and security by voluntarily abandoning the world's third largest arsenal of nuclear weapons;

WHEREAS the United States of America and Ukraine wish to ensure that those States and other persons that have acted adversely to Ukraine in the conflict do not benefit from the reconstruction of Ukraine following a lasting peace;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Ukraine (each, a "Participant") hereby enter into this Bilateral Agreement Establishing Terms and Conditions for a Reconstruction Investment Fund to deepen the partnership between the United States of America and Ukraine, as set forth herein.

1. The Governments of Ukraine and the United States of America, with the aim of achieving lasting peace in Ukraine, intend to establish a Reconstruction Investment Fund (Fund), partnering in the Fund through joint ownership, to be further defined in the Fund Agreement. Joint ownership will take into consideration the actual contributions of the Participants as defined in Sections 3 and 4. The Fund will be jointly managed by representatives of the Government of Ukraine and the Government of the United States of America. More detailed terms pertaining to the Fund's governance and operation will be set forth in a subsequent agreement (the Fund Agreement) to be negotiated promptly after the conclusion of this Bilateral Agreement. The maximum percentage of ownership of the Fund's equity and financial interests to be held by the Government of the United States of America and the decision-making authority of the representatives of the Government of the United States of America will be to the extent permissible under applicable United States laws.

Neither Participant will sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any portion of its interest in the Fund without the prior written consent of the other Participant.

2. The Fund will collect and reinvest revenues contributed to the Fund, minus expenses incurred by the Fund, and will earn income from the future monetization of all relevant Ukrainian Government-owned natural resource assets (whether owned directly or indirectly by the Ukrainian Government), as defined in Section 3.

3. The Government of Ukraine will contribute to the Fund 50 percent of all revenues earned from the future monetization of all relevant Ukrainian Government-owned natural resource assets (whether owned directly or indirectly by the Ukrainian Government), defined as deposits of minerals, hydrocarbons, oil, natural gas, and other extractable materials, and other infrastructure relevant to natural resource assets (such as liquified natural gas terminals and port infrastructure) as agreed by both Participants, as may be further described in the Fund Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, such future sources of revenues do not include the current sources of revenues which are already part of the general budget revenues of Ukraine. Timeline, scope and sustainability of contributions will be further defined in the Fund Agreement.

The Fund, in its sole discretion, may credit or return to the Government of Ukraine actual expenses incurred by the newly developed projects from which the Fund receives revenues.

Contributions made to the Fund will be reinvested at least annually in Ukraine to promote the safety, security and prosperity of Ukraine, to be further defined in the Fund Agreement. The Fund Agreement will also provide for future distributions.

4. Subject to applicable United States law, the Government of the United States of America will maintain a long-term financial commitment to the development of a stable and economically prosperous Ukraine. Further contributions may be comprised of funds, financial instruments, and other tangible and intangible assets critical for the reconstruction of Ukraine.

5. The Fund's investment process will be designed so as to invest in projects in Ukraine and attract investments to increase the development, processing and monetization of all public and private Ukrainian assets including, but not limited to, deposits of minerals, hydrocarbons, oil, natural gas, and other extractable materials, infrastructure, ports, and state-owned enterprises as may be further described in the Fund Agreement. The Government of the United States of America and the Government of Ukraine intend that the investment process will lead to opportunities for distribution of additional funds and greater reinvestment, to ensure the sufficient supply of capital for the reconstruction of Ukraine as set out in the Fund Agreement.

The Participants reserve the right to take such action as necessary to protect and maximize the value of their economic interests in the Fund.

6. The Fund Agreement will include appropriate representations and warranties, including those necessary to ensure that any obligations the Government of Ukraine may have to third parties, or such obligations that it may undertake in the future, do not sell, convey, transfer pledge, or otherwise encumber the Government of Ukraine's contributions to the Fund or the assets from which such contributions are derived, or the Fund's disposition of funds.

In drafting the Fund Agreement, the Participants will strive to avoid conflicts with Ukraine's obligations under its accession to the European Union or its obligations under arrangements with international financial institutions and other official creditors.

7. The Fund Agreement will provide, inter alia, an acknowledgment that both the Fund Agreement and the activities provided for therein are commercial in nature.

The Fund agreement shall be ratified by the Parliament of Ukraine according to the Law of Ukraine «On International Treaties of Ukraine».

8. The Fund Agreement will pay particular attention to the control mechanisms that make it impossible to weaken, violate or circumvent sanctions and other restrictive measures.

9. The text of the Fund Agreement will be developed without delay by working groups chaired by authorized representatives of the Government of Ukraine and the Government of the United States of America. Contact persons responsible for preparing the Fund Agreement on the basis of this Bilateral Agreement are: from the Government of the United States of America: the Department of the Treasury; from the Government of Ukraine: Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Economy.

10. This Bilateral Agreement and the Fund Agreement will constitute integral elements of the architecture of bilateral and multilateral agreements, as well as concrete steps to establish lasting peace, and to strengthen economic security resilience and reflect the objectives set forth in the preamble to this Bilateral Agreement.

The Government of the United States of America supports Ukraine's efforts to obtain security guarantees needed to establish lasting peace. Participants will seek to identify any necessary steps to protect mutual investments, as defined in the Fund Agreement.

11. This Bilateral Agreement is binding and will be implemented by each Participant according to its domestic procedures. The Government of the United States of America and the Government of Ukraine commit to proceed forthwith to negotiate the Fund Agreement.

Signed on 25 February 2025 in English and Ukrainian languages, both texts are equally authentic.

For the Government of the United States of America:

Scott K. H. Bessent

Secretary of the Treasury

For the Government of Ukraine:

Yulia Svyrydenko

First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine — Minister of Economy of Ukraine

I was getting worried about Trump's rhetoric against Ukraine, but this deal basically guarantees continued American support, while providing an avenue for the US to recoup its money.

Sasuga Trump-sama.

Not much drama, mainly linked because the headline was funny.

— Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) February 25, 2025

Vivek Ramaswamy announced Monday evening that he is running for governor of Ohio in 2026, capping a rapid-fire sequence of events in recent weeks that included the former GOP presidential candidate exiting President Donald Trump's government efficiency effort and being passed over for the US Senate seat vacated by Vice President JD Vance.

"Today, I am honored to announce that I am running to be the next governor of a great state at the heart of the greatest nation known to mankind – the state where I was born and raised, the state where Apoorva and I raise our two sons today – a state whose best days are still ahead," Ramaswamy said at a rally in Cincinnati.

The entrance by Ramaswamy comes after Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced his candidacy last month to succeed term-limited Republican Gov. Mike DeWine in a race that could draw other GOP contenders. Former Ohio health director Amy Acton is running for the Democratic nomination. Trump won Ohio by 11 points in November's election.

Trump endorsed Ramaswamy's gubernatorial bid late Monday night, touting his former GOP primary opponent in a post on Truth Social as "something SPECIAL."

"Vivek is also a very good person, who truly loves our Country. He will be a GREAT Governor of Ohio, will never let you down, and has my COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT!" the president added.

Ramaswamy had been tapped by Trump in November to co-lead the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, working alongside tech billionaire Elon Musk. The pair had previewed plans for steep cuts to government spending and regulation.

As Trump's inauguration neared, Ramaswamy's future involvement with DOGE became more uncertain. He also courted controversy with social media posts in December criticizing American cultural values, and he clashed with other Trump supporters over visas for highly skilled foreign workers.

The Cincinnati native's role with DOGE was further muddled as DeWine began deliberating whom to appoint to the US Senate seat ahead of Vance's swearing-in as vice president.

Ramaswamy's name came up in discussions surrounding the Senate appointment — despite the fact that he had removed himself from contention in November, saying he was focused on his work with DOGE. Sources told CNN that Trump privately encouraged Ramaswamy to consider the appointment, and Ramaswamy met with DeWine the weekend before the governor made his selection.

DeWine ultimately selected Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted, an ally who had long been seen as a potential successor, avoiding a potential GOP primary fight between Husted and Ramaswamy in the race for governor.

Following the Senate announcement, sources familiar with Ramaswamy's thinking told CNN he would focus on his efforts with DOGE before launching a bid for governor. But the timeline for a campaign announcement accelerated, leading the Trump administration to confirm Ramaswamy would no longer be involved with DOGE.

"Vivek Ramaswamy played a critical role in helping us create DOGE. He intends to run for elected office soon, which requires him to remain outside of DOGE based on the structure that we announced today. We thank him immensely for his contributions over the last 2 months and expect him to play a vital role in making America great again!" Trump transition spokesperson Anna Kelly said in a statement last month.

In the intervening weeks, Ramaswamy has spent time traveling across Ohio and the country, drumming up excitement for his campaign launch, collecting endorsements from supporters-in-waiting, and sparring on social media while touting the Trump agenda.

Ramaswamy went to a Cleveland Cavaliers basketball game and greeted fans there in early February; days later he attended a comedy show in Columbus. In addition, he traveled to the Super Bowl in New Orleans and the Daytona 500 in West Palm Beach, Florida — both events also attended by Trump.

Meanwhile, the list of Ramaswamy endorsers has grown in anticipation of his formal entry to the race. Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose pre-endorsed Ramaswamy earlier this month, writing on social media, "If he decides to run for governor, he will have my full support." State Treasurer Robert Sprague and several GOP US senators also voiced support for Ramaswamy, including Utah Sen. Mike Lee, Florida Sen. Rick Scott and Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn.

But despite Husted's redirection to the Senate and a slate of prominent supporters, Ramaswamy still faces some hurdles in the GOP primary, including Yost's rival campaign.

In recent weeks, former championship-winning Ohio State University head football coach Jim Tressel, who was appointed by DeWine to take Husted's place as lieutenant governor, has signaled he is considering entering the gubernatorial race.

Tressel's entry could set up an intriguing competition with Ramaswamy, pitting a national symbol of the new brand of conservative politics against a soft-spoken state stalwart recently tapped by the outgoing two-term governor.

Ramaswamy's rise

Ramaswamy is a recent newcomer to politics, having significantly elevated his profile over the course of a long-shot 2024 presidential campaign — his first run for office, though he had considered running for US Senate in Ohio in 2022.

He launched his White House bid in February 2023 as a little-known former biotech executive whose books "Woke, Inc." and "Nation of Victims" had given him a growing status in right-wing media. Using his personal fortune, estimated to be in the hundreds of millions, Ramaswamy was able to seed his campaign and gain national prominence.

And despite challenging Trump, Ramaswamy assiduously avoided criticizing the former president during the contest, instead praising Trump's agenda and making a name for himself with a series of confrontational media appearances, anti-establishment messaging and controversial policy proposals.

Ramaswamy also made a splash at the GOP presidential primary debates (which Trump skipped), lacing into his Republican rivals and drawing sharp rebukes from his opponents — including former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who called him "just scum" during one contentious exchange. Their clashes sparked a rivalry that has continued into the new administration; amid the dust-up over Ramaswamy's comments on American culture and high-skilled immigration last month, Haley responded on social media, "There is nothing wrong with American workers or American culture. All you have to do is look at the border and see how many want what we have."

Despite his success generating headlines, in January 2024, with Trump's lead in the primary becoming prohibitive, Ramaswamy suspended his campaign and immediately endorsed the former president. And he turned into an energetic surrogate for the Trump campaign, stumping for the Republican ticket and echoing Trump's agenda, leading to his DOGE appointment.

Ramaswamy, who is Hindu and the son of Indian immigrants, was raised in Cincinnati. He graduated from Harvard University with a degree in biology before earning a law degree from Yale University.

In 2014, he founded Roivant, the source of the bulk of his fortune. The company targets drugs that large pharmaceutical companies have shelved because they didn't fit into the company's business model. Roivant would buy the right to develop those drugs and share the profits with the original company. The "roi" in the company's names stands for return on investment.

After Roivant, Ramaswamy helped start Strive Asset Management, an investment management firm that earned a reputation for refusing to consider "woke" ideology in investment decisions, including environmental, social and corporate governance factors — positions he frequently pointed to on the trail.
