Memorandum to the Government of the United States on the Recognition of the Ukrainian People's Republic

"Memorandum to the Government of the United States on the Recognition of the Ukrainian People's Republic" by IUliian Bachynskyi is a plea for international acknowledgement of Ukraine’s independence during a period of massive upheaval in Europe. This document makes a case for Ukraine’s right to exist as a sovereign nation, highlighting its unique culture, long history, and economic potential. Bachynskyi's writing aims to persuade the United States to see Ukraine not as a part of Russia, but as a distinct entity with a legitimate claim to self-rule, while also pointing out the history of outside forces suppressing Ukraine's freedom and urging the United States to support Ukraine's cause as a matter of fairness and to promote stability in Eastern Europe.
