Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko called on US President Donald Trump to “stand on Ukraine's side” during negotiations with Russia. Sky News reports this.
Klitschko noted that US support is “extremely important” for Ukraine.
“If we protect national interests, talk about peace and democracy, the Trump administration should stand with Ukraine. Ukraine is the largest country in Europe, and stability in the largest countries in Europe can ensure the stability of the entire region,” Klitschko emphasized.
At the same time, Sky News noted that Klitschko had difficulty answering the question about his faith in Trump and his words were preceded by a long pause.
