Ambassador Oksana Markarova met with the new U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine’s Economic Recovery Penny Pritzker.

Working in lockstep with the Ukrainian government, international financial institutions, and the private sector the Special representative will drive the United States’ efforts to help rebuild the Ukrainian economy. This includes mobilizing public and private investment, shaping donor priorities, and working to open export markets and businesses shut down by Russia’s brutal attacks and destruction.  

Special Representative Pritzker will also work with Ukraine’s other international partners, including via the G7 coordination platform, to ensure that international efforts are complementary and mutually reinforcing, as well as to encourage international partners to keep stepping up their support for Ukraine’s immediate economic recovery needs. 

Ambassador and Special Representative Pritzker discussed urgent steps needed to help the Ukrainian government to strengthen its economy and to start to rebuild the country.
