43 Fulbrighters to Trump: Don’t lift sanctions on Russia

By Nina JankowiczPublished Jan. 28, 2017. Updated Jan. 29

Dear President Trump:

We, the undersigned American Fulbright students, scholars and alumni who have served as cultural ambassadors to Ukraine are writing to urge you not to sign an executive order that would lift sanctions on Russia for its aggressive, illegal actions in this country.

The purpose of the Fulbright program is to promote mutual understanding between the United States and countries all over the world. We came to Ukraine as teachers, researchers, and experts, but will leave having learned as much as, if not more than we taught.

Sanctions work

Checking Russian aggression in Ukraine with financial penalties has stopped the Kremlin from advancing its hybrid forces in the east, and has given Russia a clear signal that there are consequences to breaking the rules of the international order. We write this letter from Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, which has not heard the explosions and gunfire so common in the east. Indeed, since the Revolution of Dignity three years ago, a time when Ukrainians died in fiery street battles in defense of a future in which they could be free of the corrupting forces of a government that gave in to authoritarian Russia, the city has witnessed a rise in entrepreneurial activity and the growth of civil society. All over the country, from our posts, we see that most of Ukraine is peaceful and stable. Without sanctions, this might not be the case.

Ukraine has made progress

Despite fighting a war that has cost precious monetary resources and over 10,000 military and civilian lives, Ukraine has managed to stabilize its economy; the World Bank projects 2% GDP growth in the coming year. Thanks in large part to the support and engagement of the United States and other Western allies, it is making slow but steady progress in the fight against corruption. In some parts of the country, the government created a new police force to replace an institution that would regularly extract bribes from Ukraine’s poorest citizens. And this fall, in an unprecedented regulation that western governments including our own could learn from, over 100,000 high-level Ukrainian public servants including the President and Prime Minister publicly disclosed their assets, the first step among many to stamp out corruption in the government itself.

Ukrainian people have spirit

Our students, coworkers, and newfound friends are all highly educated, motivated people who embrace values true to the American ethos: the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Many of them have dedicated themselves to public service because they believe in Ukraine’s future. They want to be a part of the reforms that carry Ukraine to European integration and forge a life of stability and security for their children and grandchildren. In addition to being a retaliatory measure, sanctions are in place to support these shared ideals, and to support the development of Ukraine into a fully free state that is ruled by law rather than a corrupt, Russian-backed oligarchy.

Many of us have also worked and studied in Russia and harbor a deep love and respect for the country, its people, and its culture. We would like nothing more than to see our country have a productive relationship with Moscow. But this must not be done at the expense of the 10,000 Ukrainian citizens who lost their lives in a war that Russia perpetrated, at the expense of the nearly 2 million residents of the illegally annexed Crimean peninsula who lack basic services and suffer regular human rights abuses at the hands of the Kremlin, or at the expense of over 45 million Ukrainians who have the right to determine their own alliances.

Lifting Russian sanctions is not in US interests

It would signal to Russia that, at its own expense, the United States is willing to make space for Moscow at the head of the diplomatic table. It would run explicitly against the American ideals of freedom, equality, and democracy that we as Fulbrighters came to Ukraine to represent and promote. They are values for which Americans and Ukrainians alike have lost their lives and which the Kremlin flagrantly disregards.

If cooperation with Russia is to be pursued, we implore that it not be at the expense of Ukraine. Sanctions on Russia must be maintained until it meets the terms of the Minsk Agreement and returns Crimea to Ukraine.

Signed,

Nina Jankowicz on Ukraine and the Impeachment Inquiry

In testimony to the Congressional impeachment inquiry, the U.S. Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland says that President Trump directed him to work through Rudy Giuliani rather than government channels. It’s the latest development in the impeachment saga, much of which has focused on conflicting claims of corruption. Ukraine and disinformation expert Nina Jankowicz joins the program to discuss.

CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR: He said — this was a perfect phone call, on these issues that you’re talking about with President Zelensky, how would you interpret that? What’s your reaction to that?

NINA JANKOWICZ, DISINFORMATION FELLOW, WILSON CENTER: Well, I don’t think it was the perfect phone call for Ukraine and I certainly don’t think it was a perfect phone call for the United States either. We need to be supporting Ukraine in its path towards democratic development, in its anti-corruption work, not weaponizing that corruption that exists in Ukraine and creating disinformation around it in order to meet our own domestic political gains. It’s certainly not the role that the United States has played in the past and one that I hope we don’t play in the future.

AMANPOUR: Well, you know, and we sort of introduced this concept as we were coming to you, that now the E.U. ambassador, the U.S.-E.U. ambassador, Gordon Sondland, is testifying, and he’s — you know, we’ve got a look at his opening statement where he actually says that, you know, we thought it better to go through government channels, but we were directed to go through Rudy Giuliani. And he went on to say, you know, we all agreed perhaps that was the best way to go. It wasn’t until later that we thought perhaps there was an ulterior motive on Giuliani’s part and his henchmen — and his associates’ part. Tell us what you — how do you analyze what’s going on in — with all of these ambassadors and Trump appointees, not to mention the fired or recalled official U.S. ambassador to Ukraine?

JANKOWICZ: Well, I think it’s a very murky situation. I was in Ukraine during the presidential election, the Ukrainian presidential election this spring, covering it, and the —all the smearing of Ambassador Yovanovitch started just 10 days before the Ukrainian presidential election, first round. And I thought to myself, this is a terrible time for people who are outside of U.S. politics to be undermining U.S. foreign policy in Ukraine. We need to be sending a signal of support, not one of confusion and this incongruence between official policy and what the White House and Trump’s associates are saying and doing. And from the very beginning,it was clear that Mr. Giuliani and others surrounding President Trump were attempting to smear the ambassador, a career ambassador who has served under Republican and Democratic administrations and is always pitch perfect in everything she says, her support for Ukraine, her support for democracy writ large. That’s the sort of message that the United States needed to be sending. And now, unfortunately, as we know, Ambassador Yovanovitch was recalled ostensibly because of the work she did in Ukraine and the strong support that she had in terms of delivering that U.S. stance, which we had taken for many, many years.
