Ukraine is not only prepared for victory against Russian invaders but also sees itself as a solution to numerous global challenges, according to Oksana Markarova, the Ukrainian ambassador to the U.S. Markarova aims to address concerns from U.S. lawmakers about American aid to Ukraine by highlighting the long-term benefits of supporting the country. Ukraine has already received significant assistance from the U.S., European states, Canada, Japan, and others. The assistance is crucial for Ukraine’s long-term planning for international security, as Russia’s invasion in 2022 has created a lasting fear of Moscow throughout Europe. Markarova believes that Ukraine can play a pivotal role in promoting peace and deterring future conflicts on the continent by strengthening its military and rebuilding its infrastructure. In addition to continued aid, Ukraine aims to join NATO and the European Union. While it has received candidate status from the EU, becoming a NATO member is more complex due to concerns from current members. Markarova exudes confidence in Ukraine’s ability to become a member of both organizations, emphasizing their determination to be self-sustaining. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has proposed an ambitious recovery plan to integrate Ukraine into the EU, decarbonize its economy, and achieve significant growth. Ukraine’s receipt of aid now will result in economic benefits for years to come, particularly in industries such as rare earth minerals, technology, and agriculture. Markarova also emphasizes the importance of international assistance in maintaining macroeconomic stability and avoiding inflationary policies. By providing more support now, the U.S. can prevent the need for larger future bailouts.
