Ukraine is a battle zone, and is a pivotal epidemic in today’s society. Ukraine’s problems are not all political, but mostly security. According to Oleksandr Turchynov, “Ukraine has one of the worst air forces in the EU.” To sustain a secure country, the country of Ukraine must improve their air tactics and defense. One of the only ways to improve the conflict, is to sustain the basic rights of speech and assembly for the international security. The lack of leadership in Ukraine, cannot go unnoticed. Ever since the downfall of Russia and Ukraine’s partnership, tensions have been high. In order to sustain trade growth with Italy and other countries of the United Nations, we must take the necessary actions to preventing further destruction and violence in Ukraine.

As an important trade member and significant protector of Ukraine, Italy would like to see a change in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. 80% of Italy’s energy comes from Ukraine and Russia, which makes it important to prevent any altercations to the trade laws and security laws between these European countries. Italy wants to see the violence end. Italy is committed to preserving Ukraine’s sovereignty and independence from Russia. Prime Minister Matteo Renzi of Italy traveled to Ukraine, to discuss his positive intentions with President Petro Poroshenko of Ukraine. We are in full acceptance of Russia pulling their troops from inside the Ukrainian borders. Russia has already influenced Ukraine politically and economically. With Ukraine becoming fully denuclearized in 1996, we believe the country of Ukraine, is qualified to progress, without the so called “help” of Russia. Russia is well aware of the disarmament tactics used in Ukraine. Italy believes that Ukraine is at a crucial point where something must be changed for the better. Italy recognizes the problems, and want the United Nations to proceed in fixing the problems stated. The notable ones, being air defense and leadership to sustain a secure country.

The United Nations, must take action to the conflict. Italy, proposes that the UN creates a resolution finalizing the end of the battle between Russia and Ukraine, but also takes into consideration the following revisions: Ukraine needs a strong leadership program, which will help them become successful, removing all troops from Russia, and maintaining a steady economy for over 6 months, to be granted full access to the world trade market and will once again be a secure country. The Disarmament and International security committee would like to promote this resolution the the United Nations. Italy, is an advocate for Ukraine’s independence and sovereignty, and would like to improve it to create a better overall disarmament system, and living system to insure safety.
