It is the policy of the United States as follows: The United States is steadfast in its commitment to support Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction. The United States will support Ukraine to build increased institutional, economic and social resilience, with a focus on reforms that will underpin these areas. The United States will support early recovery activities in priority sectors, including energy, infrastructure, tech and demining. The United States recognizes that lasting security and prosperity for Ukraine must be underpinned by a strong private sector-led economy.
The United States will seek to build a modern, resilient and sustainable Ukrainian economy that is integrated into global markets, is not susceptible to hostile Russian influence, and is based on strong and accountable institutions, respect for the rule of law. The United States recognizes the need to unite efforts aimed at protecting the population and territories of Ukraine from the negative consequences caused by mines and explosive remnants of war as a result of the Russian Federation’s armed aggression and alleviating the devastating consequences after its completion.
The United States will promote the further development of partnership in the field of humanitarian demining, the accumulation, analysis, exchange and application of practical experience in the field of humanitarian demining. The United States will continue to fund demining, risk education, and capacity building. The United States will support the State Emergency Services of Ukraine through the Partnership Fund for a Resilient Ukraine to develop and sustain international demining standards in its operations.
The United States also undertakes to work with other donors to improve coordination and identify and implement innovative finance vehicles that bring new sources of funding into the mine action sector. The United States will work closely within the mechanisms set up by the Ukrainian government to support the implementation of the forthcoming mine action strategy.
