U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt has noted the importance of the unity of all branches of power in Ukraine for the continuation of reforms in the country, in spite of the political crisis.

The most important thing is the continued unity among all Ukrainian democratic forces led by the president, the prime minister, the government and the Verkhovna Rada to support a very serious reform progress that has been made over the past two years, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt said in an interview with the Segodnia newspaper.

It is very important that Ukrainian leaders should continue to demonstrate strong commitment to following the requirements that come with the IMF multi-billion dollar aid package, Pyatt said when commenting on the ways of solving the Ukrainian political crisis.

It is up to Ukrainians to decide on the matter of renewal of their government, while Washington focuses on the progress of reforms, not on personalities, the ambassador said.

Meanwhile, he recalled that Economic Development Minister Aivaras Abromavicius before announcing his resignation met with ambassadors of G7 countries and other diplomats.

As for the matter of champions of reform in Ukraine, the ambassador noted that there were a lot of them in the presidential administration, government and parliament, and in various regional and municipal government agencies, the private sector and the civil society.

Pyatt said that he was inspired by Ukrainians from all walks of life, who stood on the Maidan for freedom, and who continue to fight for the changes to the present day. He called on Ukrainians to be strong, keep fighting for what they believe in. The ambassador expressed his belief that changes were possible.
