Memorandum to the Government of the United State

In his book, Memorandum to the Government of the United States on the Recognition of the Ukrainian People's Republic, IUliian Bachynskyi argues that the United States should recognize the Ukrainian People's Republic (UPR) as a legitimate state. He argues that the UPR is a legitimate state because it has a functioning government, a constitution, and a population that is overwhelmingly in favor of independence. He also argues that the UPR is a legitimate state because it has a strong economy, a well-developed infrastructure, and a vibrant culture. He further argues that the UPR is a legitimate state because it has a strong military and is capable of defending itself against foreign aggression. Finally, he argues that the UPR is a legitimate state because it has a strong commitment to democracy and human rights. He concludes by urging the United States to recognize the UPR as a legitimate state and to support its efforts to achieve full independence.

Sir: In view of the present status in eastern Europe, and in deference to the unsettled affairs of the territory of the former Russian empire, which are now pressing for a definite solution, I, as the representative of the Government of the Ukrainian People's Republic, conceive it to be my duty to submit for your consideration this memorandum setting forth the just claims of the Ukrainian people to political and economic independence. As a consequence of the facts herein explained, I respectfully ask the Government of the United States of America to extend recognition to the Ukrainian People's Republic as a free state.
