Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced Wednesday that he held a "productive discussion" on Ukraine's reconstruction and economic recovery with the U.S. side.

The video conversation, which involved U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, and BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, as well as top Ukrainian officials, marked the first meeting of the group that will work on a document concerning Ukraine's reconstruction and economic recovery, Zelensky said on X.
