A NEW STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
O
ver 1,200,000 Ukrainians live in the USA. The first political Ukrainian emigre to the United States was Andriy Honcharenko /1832-1916/. He established in San Francisco a newspaper Alaska Herald with a Ukrainian supplement Svoboda. He published the paper, glorifying Ukrainian Cossacks, popularizing T. Shevchenko's poems, and defending democracy.
Ukrainians in the U.S. achieved less success than in Canada because of large assimilation. But Ukrainians in the USA organized a wide network of different societies to help each other, with a total sum of money over 1 billion dollars. The percent of persons with higher education among Ukrainians is higher than among the white Americans. Ukrainian women can use their education to get profit better than American women.
No one in Washington is too busy for Ukraine. While America's foreign aid is sinking, Kyiv's share of it is growing. In fact after Israel and Egypt Ukraine gets more aid money than any other country: $225 million in the fiscal year. Why? In part Washington is awarding the Ukrainians for giving up all their nuclear warheads. But more money than Russia, with three times the population? Who made their contributions?
Mitch McConnell, Republican senator from Kentucky visited Ukraine in 1993. He returned to hammer the Clinton administration that more funds be earmarked for Ukraine. McConnell have succeeded in earmarking $5 million for aiding Ukrainian small business, $5 million for coping with the effects of Chornobyl and so. on. This drives the State Department crazy, but officials admit that they focused too much on Russia in the yearly years of the administration.
Ethnic Ukrainians in the United States made their contributions in this case too. It was largely in the person of Eugene Ivankiv, a columnist for The Ukrainian Week and a familiar face on Capitol Hill.
Ukrainian ambassador Scherbak pointed out that only 7 countries in the world Can claim such a partnership with the U.S, Clinton announced that he plans to expand NATO eastward probably to the border of Ukraine.
President Clinton visited Ukraine in June, 2000. At signing ceremony of the Ukraine-United States joint statement in Mariinskiy palace on June 5, President Clinton remarked:
"I am delighted to be back in Ukraine to work on our strategic partnership, because the success of Ukraine as a free and prosperous nation is very important to the United States.
Of course, succeeding in the future requires learning from the past. I am very proud and moved to be here today - this is World Environment Day -for this historic announcement by President Kuchma that the final reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant will be shut down and the entire plant closed forever on December 15. This is a hopeful moment. It is also a moment when we remember those who suffered as a result of the accident there.
The President and I agreed that we can grow our economies and protect the environment and public health at the same time, and so we must. I am pleased to announce that the United States will pledge $78 million for the Chernobyl Shelter Fund, to contain radiation from the destroyed reactor; and another $2 million to expand efforts to improve safety at Ukraine's other nuclear power plants.
The President and I also discussed his plan for economic reform. He and his team have an economic plan that- can put Ukraine on a path towards sustainable growth and much higher living standards. President Kuchma has moved to give his people their own land, to reduce government bureaucracy, to promote entrepreneurship. He has taken recent steps to enhance Ukraine's protection of intellectual property rights and the rule of law. And these things improve the climate for investment in Ukraine and will attract more investment dollars from the United States and other places across the world.
In that spirit, I am pleased to announce a new five-year, $25-million business development program for.small-and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine to help them participate in the growing economy.
Finally, I want to take another important step today. Because of Ukraine's strong efforts to prevent missile proliferation, I am announcing our decision to eliminate commercial space quotas and open the door to expanded U.S. cooperation with Ukraine's space program. This decision will have a positive, long-term impact on Ukraine's economic prospects, creating more high-tech jobs and positioning Ukraine to be a leader in a cutting-edge area of 21st century commerce. It will also enhance the ability of American companies to compete in space.
This represents the kind of high-level partnership our countries can look forward to as we enter the new century together."
