POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Ukraine--Satellite Communications Services
The Government of Ukraine has requested to buy an extension of
satellite communications services for its Starlink terminals. The
following non-MDE items will be included: U.S. Government and
contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support services; and
other related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated
total cost is $150 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national
security objectives of the U.S. by improving the security of a partner
country that is a force for political stability and economic progress
in Europe.
The proposed sale will improve Ukraine's ability to meet current
and future threats by further equipping it to conduct self-defense and
regional security missions with a more robust defense capability.
Ukraine will have no difficulty absorbing these articles and services
into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the
basic military balance in the region.
The principal contractor for this effort will be Starlink Services,
located in Hawthorne, CA. At this time, the U.S. Government is not
aware of any offset agreement proposed in connection with this
potential sale. Any offset agreement
[[Page 3475]]
will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the
contractor.
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 U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
