BlackRock stopped the search for investors for the Ukrainian restoration fund

One of the world's largest investment companies - BlackRock - suspended the search for investors for the Ukrainian restoration fund after the war. It was assumed that the fund, which was expected to attract about $ 500 million from government sources and about $ 2 billion from private investors, will be officially submitted at a conference on the restoration of Ukraine in Rome on July 10–11, although the exact deadlines were not stipulated.

However, as it became known to Bloomberg , BlackRock in January, after returning to the post of US President Donald Trump, suspended negotiations with institutional investors "due to the lack of interest against the growing uncertainty regarding the future of Ukraine."

According to Bloomberg sources, France is working on a fund, which should replace the BlackRock initiative. However, the interlocutors of the publication are considered, it is not clear how effective a new plan can be without American support.

The restoration of Ukraine was previously proposed to send Russian assets frozen in the West.

The authorities of the Voronezh region confirmed the blow of drones, but announced that its consequences were a break in power transmission and damage to the roof of a private house and garage.

In the capital of Chuvashia Cheboksary, the drones hit the VNIIR-Progress. This company produces antennas to protect drones from electronic warfare. On June 9, drones already attacked VNIIR-Progress, after which the company suspended the work. The head of Chuvashia, Oleg Nikolaev, confirmed the blow to VNIIR-Progress (according to it, the company does not work), and also said that the drone damaged the warehouse under construction.

War through the eyes of readers "Medusa"

Pauline. I live in Moscow. Contrary to what they write, many are against the war here. Each time I somehow rejoice when I meet like-minded people. It seems that this is the only joy that I have left. My young and smart employees, my team is against the war. My friends, who left and remains, also against it. My mother, who was over 70, from Putin's arrival was against him and, of course, now against the war.

Of course, it is difficult for me from powerlessness. But since February 2022, my severity has no meaning. Because almost every day a bunch of old wretched bastards, led by Putin, destroys Ukraine. And no one can do anything about it. With the advent of Trump, everything became even worse, unfortunately.

I remembered the little Timothy, who died with one of the strong blows. I directly remembered his face with the photo and now that I see how my compatriots are ziga, I remember this face. As if looking for an answer in it. But there are no answers, as there is no future for this country and these people.

I have no children. I used to regret that I managed to move in my career and did not work out in my personal life, but now I think it is better. There is no need to come here to a new person, and even with my views on life, here is a dead damned land.

It is clear that Ukrainians are even worse, but they have hope, there is no hope here.
