"Updated US-Ukraine Strategic Partnership Charter, which the Ukrainian Foreign Minister and I signed today reaffirms the United States’ unwavering commitment to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine,” Blinken said at a press conference in Washington, D.C., with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba.

According to him, the document highlights key areas of cooperation, in particular, issues of security and economic transformation of Ukraine. Among other key areas of cooperation, the charter mentions defense, economic and energy cooperation, the strengthening of democracy, cultural exchange, and also emphasizes that the countries will work to ensure that Ukraine becomes a candidate for NATO membership.

“The United States intends to help Ukraine become energy independent, achieve decarbonization of the economy, and liberalization of the energy sector. We are also talking about diversification of energy supplies, integration with the European electricity supply system, modernization of the nuclear sector, and waste from used coal,” the charter says.

Among other things, the document notes that the United States is ready to work to ensure that Russia "does not use energy as a geopolitical weapon."

In addition, the United States pledged to "continue to support Ukraine's efforts to combat corruption."

“The United States and Ukraine agree that Kyiv needs to continue to carry out reforms to transform the country and guarantee a bright future for all Ukrainian people,” the charter emphasizes.

The document notes that Ukraine fully supports the US decision to open an office in Simferopol (Crimea).

Blinken, for his part, noted that Washington is concerned about "tensions on the border between Russia and Ukraine," as it fears "a repeat of the events of 2014."

“We applaud the restraint our Ukrainian partners and colleagues continually demonstrate as the provocations we see come not from them, but from Russia,” the US Secretary of State said.

He said the United States of America is working to put pressure on the Russian government to extend the contract for gas transit through Ukraine.

“We are discussing ways to ensure the security of energy supplies to Ukraine, and this includes providing new financing to help Ukraine diversify its energy resources,” the US Secretary of State explained.

The reaction of Russia

Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov called this document "a set of harmful slogans", writes The Russian Embassy in the USA on its Facebook page.

“This document is a set of slogans, and harmful ones at that. The focus is obviously on exacerbating the situation rather than reducing tensions. In addition, almost every line contains a geopolitical charge to counteract Russia. Any intention to see Kyiv in NATO is unacceptable to us. Plans to supply weapons to the “Kyiv regime” will only worsen the situation in southeast Ukraine. We believe that another opportunity has been missed to force Kyiv to stop the war,” Antonov said.

The ambassador did not forget to mention the situation in the Black Sea.

“It is alarming that today’s meeting in Washington took place against the backdrop of a sharp escalation of the situation in the Black Sea. NATO's naval and air forces are testing the strength of our army and navy. This is a waste of time and effort,” Antonov emphasized. “I would like to believe that the US-Ukrainian agreements are not a retreat by Washington from the “spirit of Geneva.” It was there that the American side confirmed the need to implement the Minsk agreements, which, by the way, are not mentioned in the charter.”

“I would like to emphasize that only the full implementation of Minsk, which includes the special status of the people’s republics, can reduce the tension in the southeast of Ukraine and contribute to the improvement of regional as well as global security,” the ambassador finally said.
