UKRAINE – RUSSIA WAR AND U.S. INTERVENTION: Russia- Ukraine wa

Ukraine has been governed by President Volodymyr Zelensky and his Servant of the People party since 2019. During Zelensky’s presidency, Ukraine has enacted difficult economic and governance reforms, albeit with some resistance and delays, and grappled with the social and economic consequences of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Under President Zelensky, Ukraine also has confronted Russia’s ongoing occupation of Ukraine’s Crimea region and parts of eastern Ukraine. Zelensky has attempted to reinvigorate the conflict resolution process with regard to Russia-occupied eastern Ukraine and has drawn greater international attention to the situation in Ukraine’s occupied Crimea region. Russia, however, appears no closer to implementing a permanent ceasefire or withdrawing its military forces from Ukraine. The United States supports Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders and promotes the implementation of domestic reforms. Since Ukraine’s independence in 1991, and especially after Russia’s 2014 invasion and occupation of Ukrainian territory, Ukraine has been a leading recipient of U.S. foreign and military aid in Europe and Eurasia. Since 2014, the United States has provided more than $2.5 billion in security assistance to Ukraine, mainly through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative and Foreign Military Financing.
