During a working visit to the United States, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with President of the World Bank Ajay Banga.

The Head of State expressed gratitude for the significant support provided by the World Bank to Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale aggression of Russia, mobilization of international financial assistance to our country and active support in cooperation with international donors.

Ajay Banga reaffirmed the World Bank’s readiness to consistently provide financial support and share the best global practices for Ukraine’s economic recovery.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed interest in intensifying cooperation with the World Bank in the transformation of our country.

The parties discussed ways to enhance the resilience of the Ukrainian financial system during the war and focused on increasing the share of cashless transactions in Ukraine’s economic system.

The parties also discussed the strategy for restoring mortgage lending. The World Bank will prepare proposals to create market mechanisms for raising funds from commercial banks in the mortgage market and risk mitigation tools to reduce mortgage rates.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ajay Banga also exchanged views on the mechanisms for using frozen Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine.

During his visit to the United States, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with executives of U.S. defense companies.

In particular, the meeting held at Ukraine House in Washington, DC, was attended by BAE Systems President Tom Arseneault, Day & Zimmermann Chair and CEO Harold Yoh, Boeing President Theodore Colbert, CEO of Sierra Nevada Corporation Fatih Ozmen, Northrop Grumman Vice President Stephen O’Bryan, RTX Vice President Jeff Shockey, Lockheed Martin Vice President Raymond Piselli, General Dynamics Vice President Mark Roualet, D&M Holding CEO Daniel Powers, AeroVironment Vice President Charles Dean.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy praised the participation of these companies in the USA – Ukraine Defense Industrial Base Conference last week.

The Head of State thanked all the employees of American defense companies who produce weapons that save Ukrainians and help our army defend the country.

“I want to thank all of you, as well as your partners. I would also like to say something important to your employees: you have done a lot for Ukraine. Without people like you, we would not be able to withstand and defend our land,” the President said.
