Urges the Government of Ukraine to: (1) continue efforts to ensure the rights of all citizens; (2) accelerate efforts to transform its economy; (3) proceed expeditiously with the privatization of state-owned enterprises; (4) place high priority on adopting laws to encourage economic growth based on market mechanisms, private enterprise, and the right to own property; (5) continue efforts to reach agreement with the G-7 group of States to shut down the nuclear reactors at Chernobyl; and (6) continue to oppose emergence of any collective military bloc on the territory of the former Soviet Union. Calls on the President of the United States to: (1) support continued U.S. assistance to Ukraine for specified purposes, including political and economic reforms; (2) insist that the Government of the Russian Federation recognize Ukraine's sovereignty; (3) express support for Ukraine's insistence that it be provided with appropriate compensation for use of its facilities on its territory; (4) ensure that Ukraine's national security interests are fully considered in any revision of the Treaty on Conventional Forces in Europe and that its interests as an integral part of Central and Eastern Europe are fully considered in any review of European security arrangements; (5) support continued U.S. security assistance for Ukraine; and (6) ensure continued U.S. efforts to assist Ukraine in its accession to the World Trade Organization.
