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.

[[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.
