Kyiv.Ukraine.Ukraine Gate – November 10,2021- The updated Ukraine-US Charter on Strategic Partnership will have several fundamentally new aspects compared to the previous document, and they will be related, in particular, to countering Russian aggression.
This was announced on Tuesday by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, who arrived in Washington to participate in a meeting of the Ukraine-US Strategic Partnership Commission, Ukrinform’s own correspondent reports.
“We agreed on the text with the American side, there are several things that were fundamentally important for us to record in terms of countering Russian aggression. When you see this text and the part devoted to Russian aggression, it will be evidence of the irreversibility of American policy to support Ukraine in counteracting Russia and Russian aggression, “the minister answered a question from Ukrinform.
He stressed that the charter is a strategic document that will determine for decades in which areas the relations between Ukraine and the United States will develop. “That is, theoretically, administrations in the White House can change, but the charter will continue to operate,” he said.
At the same time, according to him, Ukraine and the United States are already working out concrete steps for cooperation not only in the strategic future, but also in the near future.
“We have already signed a security agreement with the United States this year, and our Ministry of Defense is working with American colleagues to” embroider “it into specific programs and cooperation projects,” Kuleba said.
In this regard, he also stressed that during the current visit to Washington, the Ukrainian delegation will also have meetings at the Pentagon, the US National Security Council and expert circles that influence the formation of American policy.
A meeting of the Ukraine-US Strategic Partnership Commission is scheduled for Wednesday, November 10, and will be chaired by Foreign Ministers Dmytro Kuleba and Anthony Blinken. It is planned that they will sign an updated Ukraine-US Charter on Strategic Partnership, which will replace the previous document signed in 2008 between the two countries.
