Carolyn Davis, like many others, had an immediate reaction to the destruction in Ukraine caused by the Russian invasion.

.

U.S. politicians, government organizations, The United States Agency for International Development , and others have neglected CDAG’s work, even though U.S. military aid and spending has reached over $50 billion, and firms are pitching services to gain contracts to help reconstruct that Eastern European nation.

The American envoy to Ukraine also snubbed CDAG’s request for a meeting, despite the Ukraine Ministry of Defense having given Davis’s firm a glowing recommendation. Meeting such requirements would be impossible without access to necessary resources and a reliable support system, the defense minister wrote.

The letter is only one of many testimonials to CDAG’s capabilities, according to Dwight Brown, senior managing partner for CDAG and a retired U.S. Army Sgt. Major. The Ukraine government provided CDAG 60 acres of land, but without funding or even a token commitment from the American government, it will be difficult for the company to meet current demand.
