Liberation of Ukraine from Russia's occupation is one of the top priorities for the United States, advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump on cybersecurity and former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani has said.

Trump will insist on this interest and will achieve it, he said in an interview with the Novoye Vremia magazine published on June 16.

He did not agree that the Trump administration is too gentle in its relations with Russia.

Giuliani said that the impression of gentleness towards Russia could be seen in some comments of Trump during his election campaign. However, he said that Trump after running the president post has started studying the essence of international relations more thoroughly. He took Syria as an example, which is the obvious ally of Russia. Trump ordered to bomb the Syrian military base, he said. It is clear that in his steps he prioritizes the interests of the United States over the interests of Russia, he said.
