Ukraine confident of continued US support after election, says foreign minister
Ukraine is confident of continued U.S. support regardless of who wins next week's presidential election, Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on Thursday, citing what he called strong bipartisan support, Paralel.Az reports citing Reuters.
"We have strong bipartisan support, both Republicans and Democrats. And of course, we have strong support of American people," Sybiha, speaking in English, told reporters in Montreal when asked about the election result.
"I would like to emphasize that support to Ukraine, it is not a charity, (it's) a contribution in trans-Atlantic security, and we are confident that this support will be continued," he said at the end of a conference discussing the return of Ukrainians detained by Russia
"We are confident in the U.S. support, because also we are protecting our common values - we are protecting democracy. And this war is not the war about Ukraine, this war is about restoration of the world order," he said.
