Sadly, Some Will Tell You

Sadly, some will tell you that Ukraine doesn't matter to the United States because it’s a “small Eastern European nation thousands of miles away”. The economic facts say different. The United States Trade Representative reported that the latest figures available, from 2019, show a $3.7 billion dollar total in trade between Ukraine and the United States.

Over the past 24 years, US exports to Ukraine have increased nearly 11 percent every year.

Ukraine is important to Europe too. In 2020, trade between the European Union and Ukraine totaled nearly $49 billion. https://ec.europa.eu/.../countries-and.../countries/ukraine/ 

It may be far away to some, but Ukraine means dollars and cents to our economy and to the economy of our allies.
