Whereas the United States recognized Ukraine as an independent State on December
25, 1991;
Whereas Ukraine is a major European nation, having the second largest territory
and sixth largest population of all the States of Europe;
Whereas Ukraine has an important geopolitical and economic role to play within
Central and Eastern Europe and a strong, stable, and secure Ukraine
serves the interests of peace and stability in all of Europe, which is
also an important national security interest of the United States;
Whereas Ukraine conducted its first presidential and parliamentary elections as
an independent State in 1994, carrying such elections out in a free and
fair manner and moving further away from the former communist model of
one-party, centralized, totalitarian rule;
Whereas Ukraine's presidential elections of July 1994 resulted in the first
peaceful transfer of executive power in any of the independent States of
the former Soviet Union;
Whereas on June 28, 1996, the Parliament of Ukraine adopted a new constitution
for Ukraine;
Whereas Ukraine's economic and social stability depend on its ability to build a
stable market-based economy and a legal system based on the rule of law,
attract foreign investment, improve tax and revenue collection, and
build its export sectors;
Whereas Ukraine was the first of the independent states of the former Soviet
Union to have appointed a civilian to the office of Minister of Defense,
an historic precedent in support of civilian control and oversight of
the armed forces of Ukraine;
Whereas Ukraine is pursuing political and economic reforms intended to ensure
its future strength, stability, and security and to ensure that it will
assume its rightful place among the international community of
democratic States and in European and trans-Atlantic institutions;
Whereas through the agreement by the Government of Ukraine to the establishment
of a mission from the Organization on Security and Cooperation in Europe
in the region of Crimea, Ukraine has shown its interest in avoiding the
use of force in resolving ethnic and regional disputes within Ukraine;
Whereas all nuclear weapons were removed from Ukraine by June 1, 1996, and
Ukraine has taken very positive steps in supporting efforts to stem
proliferation of nuclear weapons by ratifying the START-I Treaty on
nuclear disarmament and the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear
Weapons;
Whereas in December 1994, the Presidents of the United States and the Russian
Federation and the Prime Minister of Great Britain signed a Memorandum

Whereas the Secretary of Defense of the United States and the Minister of

Whereas Ukraine has sought to promote constructive cooperation with its
neighbors through humanitarian assistance and through mediation of
disputes;
Whereas Ukraine has provided Ukrainian troops as part of the international
peacekeeping force meant to prevent the spread of conflict in the states
of the former Yugoslavia; and
Whereas Ukraine has acted in defense of its sovereignty and that of other newly
independent states by opposing the emergence of any political or
military organization which has the potential to promote the
reintegration of the states of the former Soviet Union: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That it is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) Ukraine has made significant progress in political
reform in its first 5 years of independence and that it is to
be congratulated for the successful conduct of free and fair
elections for the presidency and parliament and for the
adoption of a new constitution;
(2) the territorial integrity of Ukraine in its existing
borders is an important element of European peace and
stability;
(3) the President and Parliament of Ukraine should focus
their efforts on passing legislation needed to implement the
new democratic constitution;
(4) the Government of Ukraine should continue its efforts
to ensure the rights of all citizens of Ukraine regardless of
their ethnic or religious background;
(5) the Government of Ukraine should make its first
priority the dismantling of the remaining socialist sectors of
its economy, particularly by speedily privatizing medium and
large state-owned enterprises, privatizing state and collective
farms and ending their monopolistic control of the agro-
industrial sector, and fostering a competitive market-based
energy sector;
(6) the Government of Ukraine should make the necessary
institutional and legal reforms to create a stable tax regime,
foster market-based competition, protect the right to private
property, and make other changes that build a positive climate
for foreign investment;
(7) the Government of Ukraine should make it a priority to
build the institutional capacity and legal framework needed to
fight crime and corruption effectively in a democratic
environment;
(8) the Government of Ukraine should continue its
cooperative efforts with the ``G-7'' group of States to safely
and expeditiously shut down the nuclear reactors at Chernobyl,
Ukraine;
(9) the President of the United States should support
continued United States assistance to Ukraine for its political
and economic reforms, for efforts associated with the safe and
secure dismantlement of its weapons of mass destruction, and
for the increased safety of operation of its civilian nuclear
reactors, and assistance for the establishment of rule of law,
for criminal justice and law enforcement training, and for the
promotion of trade and investment, and in this regard United
States assistance to the Ukraine should leverage private-sector
involvement as much as possible;
(10) the President of the United States should urge that
the Government of the Russian Federation, in line with the
assurances for the security of Ukraine made by the President of
the Russian Federation in the January 1994 Trilateral Statement
on Nuclear Disarmament in Ukraine, offer Ukraine its promised
highest possible cooperation, fully and finally recognizing
Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity and refraining
from any economic coercion of Ukraine;
(11) the Government of Ukraine should continue to act in
defense of its sovereignty and that of the other independent
states of the former Soviet Union by opposing the emergence of
any political or military organization which would have the
potential to promote the reintegration of the states of the
former Soviet Union;
(12) the President of the United States should ensure that
Ukraine's national security interests are fully considered in
any review of European security arrangements and
understandings;
(13) the President of the United States should support
continued United States security assistance for Ukraine,
including assistance for training of military officers,
military exercises as part of the North Atlantic Alliance's
Partnership for Peace program, and appropriate military
equipment to assist Ukraine in maintaining its defensive
capabilities as it reduces its military force levels;
(14) the President of the United States should ensure the
United States Government's continued efforts to assist Ukraine
in its accession to the World Trade Organization; and should
ensure, in particular, that the potential for aerospace and
space cooperation and commerce between the United States and
Ukraine is fully and appropriately exploited; and
(15) as a leader of the democratic nations of the world,
the United States should continue to support the people of
Ukraine in their struggle to bring peace, prosperity, and
democracy to Ukraine and to the other independent states of the
former Soviet Union.
