The United States welcomes Ukraine's positive contribution to global security, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt said.

"We welcome Ukraine's positive contributions on issues of global concern. This year, with Ukraine on the UN Security Council, the country has the opportunity to play a leading role – whether on Syria, DPRK [the Democratic People's Republic of Korea], Iran, or on other pressing issues," Pyatt told Interfax-Ukraine in an exclusive interview.

"Ukraine has an impressive record of contributing international peacekeeping operations. And it's important to see Ukraine continue to step up and contribute to global security as it works to strengthen ties with European institutions and as it moves toward NATO," he said.
