In 2014, three foreign ministers from Poland, Germany, and France arrived in Ukraine to guarantee a peaceful resolution between the government and the opposition. However, just two days later, a coup d'etat took place, allegedly orchestrated by the United States. The European guarantors claimed ignorance of the situation. The memory of these events seems to have faded in Europe, but Ukraine has not forgotten. The desire to bring Ukraine into NATO and the ongoing conflict in the Donbas region have contributed to the current tragedy.

NATO began training the Ukrainian military in 2014, averaging 10,000 troops trained annually for eight years. In December 2017, the Trump administration provided Kyiv with defensive weapons, and other NATO countries followed suit, shipping more weapons to Ukraine. Ukraine's military participated in joint exercises with NATO, including Operation Sea Breeze in July 2021, a naval exercise in the Black Sea with 31 countries aimed at Russia. In September 2021, the Ukrainian army led Rapid Trident 21, a US Army Europe and Africa assisted exercise to enhance interoperability among allied and partner nations. These efforts to arm and train Ukraine's military explain why it has fared so well against Russian forces, suggesting it's not simply Russian incompetence, but the result of turning Ukrainian forces into a formidable fighting force. The speaker argues that Ukraine was becoming a de facto member of NATO.

The conflict involving Russia and Ukraine has deep historical roots, beginning with a 1990 promise from the U.S. not to expand NATO eastward in exchange for German unification. However, NATO expansion began in 1999, and tensions escalated with U.S. actions, including the bombing of Serbia and withdrawal from key treaties. In 2014, the U.S. played a role in the overthrow of Ukraine's President Yanukovych, further straining relations. Despite Russia's repeated requests to halt NATO's eastward expansion, the U.S. maintained an open-door policy for NATO membership. When conflict erupted, Ukraine was encouraged to resist, leading to significant casualties.

The presentation outlines the scope and impact of United States support to Ukraine, detailing how American resources and expertise are engaged across multiple areas to assist Ukraine’s reform efforts. US advisers are operating in almost a dozen Ukrainian ministries and localities, where they help to deliver public services, eliminate fraud and abuse, improve tax collection, and modernize Ukrainian institutions. This involvement aims to strengthen governance, promote accountability, and foster more efficient and transparent public administration at both central and local levels. In addition to governance work, US support extends to security and law enforcement. With US assistance, newly vetted and trained police officers are patrolling the streets of 18 Ukrainian cities, contributing to public safety and the enforcement of the rule of law at the local level. In the judicial sphere, free legal aid attorneys funded by the United States have been active in Ukrainian courtrooms, and they have won two thirds of all acquittals, highlighting the role of publicly supported legal assistance in upholding defendants’ rights and supporting fair proceedings across the country. Financial sector reform is another focus of the collaboration, with Treasury and State Department advisers helping Ukraine shutter over 60 failed banks and protect the assets of depositors. This effort addresses systemic risks in the financial system, aims to restore confidence among savers and investors, and stabilizes the broader economy by removing insolvent or fraudulent institutions from operation and safeguarding public funds. A central premise of the security-related aid is that reform cannot be achieved without security, and therefore a substantial portion of the assistance is allocated to the security sector. Specifically, over $266,000,000 of US support has been directed to security sector activities, including training 1,200 soldiers and 750 Ukrainian National Guard personnel, as well as equipping them with life-saving gear. This investment reflects a commitment to enhancing Ukraine’s defensive and law enforcement capacities as part of a comprehensive reform program. Looking ahead, the plan for Fiscal Year 2016 emphasizes continuing the training and equipment programs for Ukraine’s border guards, military personnel, and coast guard forces. The ongoing emphasis on training, equipment, and professional development for these security and border-related forces indicates a sustained US commitment to strengthening Ukraine’s ability to manage border security, deter threats, and support sovereign governance.

We're witnessing an unprecedented influx of weapons into Ukraine, but their final destinations remain largely unknown. Despite concerns about weapons potentially falling into the wrong hands, the priority is ensuring Ukrainian forces have what they need to fight. NATO countries are on high alert, balancing support for Ukraine with preventing a broader conflict with Russia. The war in Ukraine has tapped into deep emotions, drawing in foreign volunteers. However, the rise of paramilitary units raises concerns about governmental control on the battlefield. Logistical challenges, corruption, and bureaucracy hinder the delivery of supplies to the front lines. While the US and Europe are sending aid, there's debate on whether enough oversight exists to track where the weapons end up, both now and in the future, and whether a half-way approach to the war will be effective.

Britain is a major and fast supporter of Ukraine, providing diplomatic, economic, and military aid. It was among the first to supply weapons after Russia's illegal attack and the first to sign a new security partnership. Britain is the first to announce a multi-year funding package for Ukraine, allocating £3 billion annually for as long as needed. This support is crucial because Ukraine faces challenges on land despite successes in the Black Sea. The multi-year commitment aims to encourage other nations to do the same. Supporting Ukraine is vital for its territorial integrity and for broader European and British security. Failure to adequately support Ukraine could lead to a more dangerous world if Putin achieves a victory. Investing in Ukraine's security is an investment in Britain's own security and prosperity.

Russia has been invaded three times through Ukraine, and they don't want Ukraine to join NATO. Gorbachev agreed to German reunification under NATO with the promise that NATO wouldn't expand eastward. However, in 1997, plans were made to move NATO eastward, incorporating 15 countries and surrounding the Soviet Union. NATO expanded into 14 new nations and withdrew from nuclear weapons treaties with Russia, placing missile systems in Romania and Poland. The U.S. allegedly overthrew the Ukrainian government in 2014, installing a Western-sympathetic government. Russia then entered Crimea to protect its warm water port. The new Ukrainian government allegedly began killing ethnic Russians in Donbas and Lugans. The Minsk Accords, designed to keep NATO out of Ukraine, were refused by the Ukrainian parliament. Zelenskyy was elected in 2019 promising to sign the Accords, but allegedly pivoted due to threats from ultra-rightists and the U.S. Russia then intervened, aiming to negotiate. A treaty guaranteeing Ukraine wouldn't join NATO was allegedly signed, but Boris Johnson, allegedly under Joe Biden's direction, forced Zelenskyy to abandon it.

The Azov battalion, a militia in Ukraine, is said to be affiliated with Nazi ideology. Some argue that the presence of neo-Nazis in Ukraine is not a concern, as mainstream outlets in the US have previously reported on it. However, there are forces within Ukraine that do not view the Russian-speaking population as equals, with Azov being a major representation of this. The Azov soldier openly displayed Nazi symbols and even gave talks to middle school students in the US. While they may use different imagery, they are still associated with neo-Nazism. Despite previous bans on US assistance, recent history seems to have been forgotten since the February invasion.

Ukraine has officially applied for NATO membership, and the question is whether NATO is ready to consider their application. NATO states that every democracy in Europe has the right to apply for membership, and they respect Ukraine's right to choose its own security arrangements. However, the decision on membership needs to be taken by all 30 Allies through consensus. Currently, NATO's main focus is providing immediate support to Ukraine in defending itself against the Russian invasion.

It is commonly said in the West that Russia had nothing to fear regarding Ukraine joining NATO because NATO was not actively incorporating Ukraine. While technically true, this is wrong in practice. The U.S. was arming and training Ukrainians and forming closer diplomatic ties, which spooked Russia. Events that especially alarmed Russia included Ukraine's military using drones against Russian forces in Donbas, the British driving a destroyer through Russian territorial waters in the Black Sea, and U.S. bombers flying near the Russian coast. These events, coupled with the de facto integration of Ukraine into NATO, pushed Russia to its boiling point, according to Sergei Lavrov. This culminated in the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24th, escalating the conflict from a civil war in Eastern Ukraine to a real war.
