U.S. presidential election outcome won't affect relations with Ukraine – Ambassador Yovanovitch
U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch believes the U.S. relations with Ukraine won't change after the American presidential election.
Speaking with journalists in Kyiv on Wednesday morning, Yovanovitch said that no matter who the next U.S. president will be, both during the transition period and under the new administration, the United States will remain a strong partner of Ukraine.
She said that both teams in the U.S. presidential election demonstrated support for Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity, democracy and cooperation.
The U.S. policy toward Ukraine has been unchanged for 25 years, because there is a consensus concerning the support of Ukraine, the ambassador said.
When asked about the future of the U.S. sanctions against Russia if Republican candidate Donald Trump wins, Yovanovitch expressed her confidence that the sanctions will be preserved and will be extended in December.
