Special Representative of the United States for Economic Reconstruction of Ukraine, Penny Pritzker, highlighted key sectors of Ukraine's economy, according to the Ukrainian President's website.
Penny Pritzker, the U.S. Special Representative for Economic Recovery in Ukraine, noted that economic support for Ukraine is one of the main components of security assistance from the United States.
"We must work together with Ukrainians to expedite reforms, support the development of key infrastructure necessary to stimulate economic growth and increase exports," Pritzker said.
According to Penny Pritzker, it is essential to consider Ukraine's industrial potential, including sectors such as agriculture, information technology (IT), energy, transportation, and logistics, as well as defense production.
The Special Representative is convinced that Ukraine will become a resilient, digitized, and competitive European country in the future, with robust defense capabilities and the ability to defend itself.

It has been reported that the bill providing assistance to Ukraine did not pass the procedural vote in the U.S. Senate. Earlier, U.S. President Joe Biden urged Congress to allocate funds for assistance to Ukraine, proposing $61.4 billion in aid.
