According to DFC CEO Ben Black, the launch of the Fund in less than a year was made possible by DFC's cooperation with the Government of Ukraine, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and the Department of State. He emphasized that the Fund is designed to support the implementation of investment projects that meet the common interests of the U.S. and Ukraine.
