Ukraine's relations with the USA are known to be a highly important element of its external policy both politically and economically. It was in no way accidental that Ukraine declared their strategic character. In the present-day world with the Unites States actually representing the sole center of attraction, the majority of nations of the world view the relations with this country more or less as such.
