Ukraine is prepared for NATO, and in the United States there is a plan if the Russian Federation captures more territories - Politico
The goals were offered by a number of US government agencies, including the Ministry of Defense. (The US government has similar strategies for many countries every few years). The secret version of the document is three times more than the public 22-page, which the State Department posted about a month ago on its site.
The fact that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has recently removed several high -ranking officials is a signal that he listens to the advice of the US and Europe, journalists say. The State Department representative did not mention whether Washington shared with Kiev the full version of the strategy. It is also unknown whether there is a secret version of the document.
William Taylor, the former US Ambassador to Ukraine, stated that many ordinary citizens of Ukraine would probably welcome such a strategy because they are tired of an epidemic of corruption in the country. According to him, all is well, "if it does not interfere with the help we provide to them to win in the war. " Among the goals are the supply of military equipment and the training of servicemen.
The secret version, the journalists say, also refers to the help in carrying out reform of the national apparatus responsible for security, "decentralization, performance of tasks related to risk", reduction of "opportunities for corruption". Although NATO is not in a hurry to accept Ukraine in its composition, the American Strategy mentions the desire to adapt the Ukrainian army to the Alliance standards.
The fact that specific efforts in this direction are made, indicates that the secret version of the document mentioned "the formation of the corps of the junior officer and sergeant composition in accordance with the standard doctrine and principles of NATO. " It is noted that even the format and content of the documents of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine should "reflect NATO terminology". One of the goals in the strategy is to create a "national level resistance plan".
Appropriate hostilities are envisaged by ordinary Ukrainians, in case the Russian Federation seizes more territories. There are no other details about it. In the US, Ukraine also wants Ukraine to produce more military equipment. "The domestic military industry must support the basic needs," the American strategy says. Representatives of the United States, apparently, are concerned about a place that is occupied by a few elite in Ukraine.
"Deoligarchization, especially energy and mining sectors, is a key principle of building a better Ukraine," - reads in the public. In the secret part of it, it is mentioned that the Ukrainian government "has to" carry out significant reforms that decentralize control over the energy sector. " It is mentioned that the US is helping the Accounting Chamber of Ukraine to expand audit work and more to directly track financial support from the United States.
It is listed how the United States assists health and cybersecurity sectors, as well as government efforts in terms of antitrust law and increase in tax revenues. The secret part of the document contains calls to increase the issuance of loans to encourage business expansion and reduce the role of the state in the banking sector. One of the noticeable milestones in this direction was "transparency in the return of" Alfa-Bank "to private possession.
The strategy refers not only to the preservation of the Western vector in Ukraine, but also to develop special ties with the United States. English is one way to achieve it. The US provides technical and other support to the Ministry of Education of Ukraine to improve the quality of English teaching. English lessons should also help reintegrate Ukrainians from Russia -occupied territories. The US also plans to open diplomatic missions in other cities except Kiev. In Lviv, Odessa, Kharkiv and Dnipro.
