Ambassador Pascual: "Representing the United States in Ukraine typifies the cutting edge of the new Foreign Service. Ukraine and its neighbors face the challenges of building democratic and market-oriented states where their citizens hold their leaders accountable. As Ukraine succeeds, we also gain a reliable partner with a market of 50 million people in a more stable and secure Europe. No longer is the Foreign Service a career of observing and reporting. Through engagement, we can help other nations and their citizens achieve freedom and prosperity, and in so doing, advance our national interests."

Hometown: Washington, DC
