Zelenskyy Meets Top U.S. Business Leaders in NYC to Discuss $30 Billion Private Fund for Rebuilding Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is meeting with top U.S. business leaders and diplomats in New York City to discuss attracting private funding to rebuild Ukraine.
Attendees include heads of JPMorgan, BlackRock, Citadel, Blackstone, Bloomberg LP, as well as Robert Kraft, Dan Lubetzky, Henry Kissinger, and celebrity chef Jose Andres.
The meeting aims to discuss creating an investment fund seeded with up to $30 billion in private capital to help rebuild Ukraine's destroyed infrastructure.
Obstacles include ongoing war uncertainty and Ukraine's history of corruption, though Zelenskyy seemed receptive to advice on needing private funds eventually.
It comes after JPMorgan bankers met with Zelenskyy in Ukraine in February and gifted him a Patriots jersey ahead of Super Bowl LVII.
