POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Ukraine—Class IX Spare Parts

The Government of Ukraine has requested to buy Class IX spare parts in support of U.S. Army-supplied vehicles and weapon systems, as well as other related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total cost is $185 million.

This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a partner country that is a force for political stability and economic progress in the Europe.

Ukraine has an urgent need to strengthen local sustainment capabilities to maintain high operational rates for U.S.-provided vehicles and weapon systems. The spare parts will directly contribute to battlefield effectiveness with higher overall operational rates, improved logistics, and a reduced financial burden as a result of a more resilient and rapid repair cycle.

The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the military balance in the region.

The principal contractor(s) will be determined from approved vendors. At this time, the U.S. Government is not aware of any offset agreement proposed in connection with this potential sale. Any offset agreement will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the contractor. ( printed page 20146)

Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. government or contractor representatives to Ukraine.

There will be no adverse impact on defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
