Background I have dedicated my entire professional life to the United States of America. For more than two decades, it has been my honor to serve as an officer in the United States Army. As an infantry officer, I served multiple overseas tours, including South Korea and Germany, and I was deployed to Iraq for combat operations. Since 2008, I have been a Foreign Area Officer specializing in European and Eurasian politico-military affairs. I served in the United States embassies in Kiev, Ukraine and Moscow, Russia. In Washington, D.C., I was a politico-military affairs officer for Russia for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff where I drafted the Armed Forces’ global campaign plan to counter Russian aggression and Russian malign influence. In July 2018, I was asked to serve at the White House’s National Security Council. At the NSC I am the principal advisor to the National Security Advisor and the President on Ukraine and the other countries in my portfolio. My role at the NSC is to develop, coordinate, and implement plans and policies to manage the full range of diplomatic, informational, military, and economic national security issues for the countries in my portfolio.

But Mr. Yushchenko’s opponent, Viktor Yanukovych, has refused to concede and has launched an appeal of the result, delaying Mr. Yushchenko’s inauguration. Speaking in his first public appearance after the polls closed at 8 p.m., Mr. Yushchenko proudly announced his victory at 2:30 a.m. on Monday, December 27. “The first news,” he said into a microphone at his campaign headquarters, “It happened.” “This is a victory of the Ukrainian people, the Ukrainian nation,” he said before a mass of some 500 journalists who applauded wildly after he made his ini- tial statement. “The era of [Leonid] Kuchma, [Viktor] Medvedchuk and [Viktor] Yanukovych fades away into the past. An era of a great new democracy is starting. This is what dozens of millions of Ukrainians dreamt about. Today it is fashionable, stylish and beautiful to be a citizen of Ukraine,” he said. Though Mr. Yushchenko proclaimed he had won the rerun of the run-off election the day after the polls closed, the Central Election Commission did not announce the conclusion of its preliminary tally until the following day. AP/Efrem Lukatsky (Continued on page 10) Supporters of Viktor Yushchenko celebrate during a rally in Independence Square on December 27.
