Elected in the wake of this year’s Ukrainian Revolution, Poroshenko is in the United States and Canada this week to seek greater military and economic aid from strategic allies. “Radio Free Europe continues to serve the strategic interests of the United States and our allies, broadcasting a message of economic and political freedom to counter resurgent threats in the region,” Schock said in his invitation to Giambalvo. “The Ukrainian President seeks a stronger alliance with the United States today, and the presence of Radio Free Europe’s leadership in the House Gallery for his address sends a strong message that we will not abdicate the airwaves in Eastern Europe to pro-Soviet propaganda.” President Poroshenko’s address comes at a critical time for Ukraine, as Tuesday, the Eastern European nation joined with the European Union in ratifying an historic political and economic agreement – all while a tentative cease-fire persists between Ukrainian forces and the pro-Russian separatists. The new head of RFE-RL was chosen to attend the event in light of the crucial role Rep. Schock understands RFE-RL to play in establishing and maintaining a stable Eastern Europe. Rep.
