Sure. Thank you for the question.
Fundamentally, a trade agreement is about establishing and building a relationship. In the case of Ukraine, one of the fundamental purposes of this agreement was to help the economic development in Ukraine. The original agreement was based around tariffs, and it allowed trade in goods to flow between us.
This offers an opportunity to help integrate Ukraine into the international trade and services. It will also help make Ukraine a more attractive investment location.
When a country moves in a direction of adopting the types of commitments that we put into our FTAs, this allows it to show the international community that it is rising to that level, and it's that level of predictability and certainty that these sorts of agreements will inspire within its government. Those changes are what will attract trade and what will attract investment, and ultimately that trade and investment will lead to development, which leads to more tax revenue and more jobs, which ultimately lead to better institutions and the stability that provides.
Fundamentally, it is about creating opportunity, and it's opportunity not just for economic growth but also for stability.
