Ukraine Support Policy

Supporting Ukraine is essential not only for the nation's sovereignty but for maintaining global stability and upholding democratic values. Ukraine's fight against the Russian invasion highlights the struggle of a smaller, democratic nation defending its autonomy against a larger authoritarian power.

If Ukraine's independence is undermined it sets a troubling precedent that powerful countries can invade and control others with impunity threatening the security of nations worldwide. Such a scenario undermines international law and erodes confidence in the existing rules-based order.

Supporting Ukraine also reinforces the value of democracy and human rights. Ukrainians have shown a strong commitment to democratic governance most recently through the Revolution of Dignity where they chose a European democratic path over authoritarian influence.

Helping Ukraine not only defends its choice but sends a clear message that democratic aspirations are respected and supported on the international stage.
