U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, during his visit to Ukraine, will give a signal to the Ukrainian authorities on continuing U.S. support for the Ukrainian authorities and the territorial integrity of Ukraine, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt has said.

He told reporters in Kyiv on Wednesday that Biden would focus on a decisive signal on continuing to express U.S. support for the Ukrainian people, the president and the Ukrainian government.
