Earlier this month, Ken Hersh, President and CEO of the George W. Bush Presidential Center, participated in a conversation at Ukraine House Davos about the economic benefits of continued support for Ukraine. Hersh also highlighted that Ukrainians are brave and innovative, saying, “Ukrainians are showing the world what enterprise looks like on the ground.”

The Bush Center recently released a series of policy briefs for the Trump Administration and 119th Congress. The recommendations on Ukraine include:

  • The Trump Administration should prioritize support for a Ukrainian victory by accelerating provision of robust military assistance to Kyiv.
  • The United States and its allies should reenforce existing economic sanctions on Russia and impose new, effective ones.
  • The United States, together with NATO allies, should extend an invitation for Ukraine to join the Alliance.
  • The international community should prioritize the prosecution of Russia’s war crimes.
