Ukraine – A Force for Political Stability

Both approved FMS requests are expected to improve Ukraine’s capability to conduct self-defense and regional security missions and address current and future threats. The proposed sales will also support the foreign policy goals and national security objectives of the United States. The DSCA described Ukraine as a “force for political stability and economic progress in Europe.”
