Ukraine

The United States is strongly committed to a sovereign, independent, prosperous Ukraine.

Ukraine's accession to the Non-Proliferation Treaty completes a bold move away from the nuclear precipice.

I applaud his leadership and the leadership of the Ukrainian Parliament in acceding last week to the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

We resolved to work together to open prospects for Ukrainian access to international aerospace markets.

Ukraine is the fourth largest recipient of American foreign assistance in the entire world because we think it is so important to complete the work of denuclearization.

I told President Kuchma that the United States will continue to work with Ukraine to dismantle completely its nuclear arsenal.

Our Ukraine policy over the last 23 months has taken many twists and turns.

Ukraine is also very specific in our minds, because it certainly is not in our interest for there to be an isolated and uneasy Ukraine.

It's a great pleasure for me to welcome President Kravchuk and his entire delegation from Ukraine to the White House today.

The United States appreciates the importance of market access for economies in transition, such as Ukraine.

I think that it's important for us here in the United States to note that one of the big issues when I went to Ukraine and to Russia in January has been resolved.

I strongly reaffirmed American support for Ukraine's independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.

The United States will provide up to 350 million dollars in economic assistance in Fiscal Year 1994 to support Ukraine's transition to a market-oriented economy and a democratic society.

Ukraine was the first of the newly independent states to sign up to the Partnership For Peace.

The United States is prepared to provide technical assistance to help Ukraine implement a trade regime consistent with GATT membership.

We wanted to underscore our determination to promote Ukraine's integration into the broader European and world economic and security systems as a fully independent state and full participant.

While Ukraine is going through a difficult period of transition, it remains a nation with enormous economic potential.

One of the major things that we can hope to see from Ukraine is some of the steps that will be required to engage the private sector.
