Ukraine has been at war with Russia for more than a year and a half and continues to face struggles to defend itself without financial help from other countries.
The leader of the Ukraine met with several billionaires and business leaders Wednesday in a potential financing move.
What Happened: Ahead of a planned meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with several billionaires.
A meeting was held Wednesday night to discuss efforts to help provide financing to rebuild Ukraine and its economy, according to sources from CNN.
Among the rumored in attendance big names were former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Mike Bloomberg, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Barry Sternlicht, Bill Ackman and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.
The meeting between Zelenskyy and the billionaires and key figures was said reportedly put together by JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE: JPM).
Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan, was not at the meeting due to travel obligations. The company’s CEO of asset and wealth management, workplace CEO and head of alternative investments were all present.
News of the meeting with billionaires was first reported by Fox Business.
Sources said the meeting lasted longer than expected, but no details on any financial commitments to Zelenskyy or Ukraine were available.
