Ukraine marked the third anniversary of the popular uprising in Kyiv's Maidan Square in November 2016, and the third anniversary of the collapse of the Kremlin-favored government of Viktor Yanukovych is in February 2017. The current government, led by President Petro Poroshenko and Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman, has made progress in implementing reforms, addressing corruption, and achieving economic progress, but some sectors of the public are frustrated with the slow pace of change. Russia's annexation of Crimea in March 2014 and ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine remain major challenges. The US and EU have imposed sanctions on Russia and provided assistance to Ukraine, with the US committing close to $1.5 billion in foreign assistance. The US Congress has been a strong advocate for assisting Ukraine, but some observers believe there is growing Ukraine fatigue in Europe and concerns about the new US Administration's commitment to Ukraine.
