The Political Section’s top priority goals are to strengthen U.S.-Ukrainian bilateral ties and further integrate Ukraine into the Euro-Atlantic community by helping Ukraine consolidate its democracy, reinforce the rule of law, advance justice and anti-corruption reforms, bolster civil society, and promote a responsive, responsible government.  The Political Section assists in these priorities by organizing and facilitating high-level bilateral and multilateral engagements and reporting on issues affecting the bilateral relationship, including domestic political events, reforms, democratic practices, and human rights.
