August 24, 1991: On Declaration of Independence of Ukraine. The Verkhovna Rada of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic resolves that:  Ukraine shall be declared an independent democratic state on August 24, 1991. Upon declaration of its independence, only its Constitution, laws, orders of the Government, and other legislative acts of the republic are valid on the territory of Ukraine. - A republican referendum shall be organized on December 1, 1991 to confirm the act of declaration of independence.

Turkey’s balancing act can be measured act along three dimensions: helping Ukraine avoid defeat, avoiding open conflict with Russia while demonstrating solidarity with the West, and increasing Ankara’s regional diplomatic weight. On all three, the Turks have performed reasonably well. Early provision of military aid, especially armed drones, helped blunt the Russian assault on Kyiv. As the grain-corridor deal shows, Turkey’s influential role in the war makes it likely that it will also play an influential role in whatever peace follows. 

The strategy outlines four objectives to advance U.S. priorities in concert with regional partners in sub-Saharan Africa during the next five years. The United States will leverage all of our diplomatic, development, and defense capabilities, as well as strengthen our trade and commercial ties, focus on digital ecosystems, and rebalance toward urban hubs, to support these objectives:
