President notes excellent ties between Kyiv and Washington
President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has noted excellent relations with the U.S. last year and expects the new U.S. administration to comply with its obligations.
He said about this at a meeting with foreign ambassadors accredited in Ukraine, the presidential press service said on Monday.
"2016 was a year of high dynamics of our relationship and cooperation on the basis of a permanent bipartisan support of Ukraine. It was nice to feel it personally during a telephone conversation with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump in a few days after the elections day," the press service quoted Poroshenko as saying.
The president noted that the next week the new administration enters the White House, "but today we can say that American leadership in the world, as well as compliance with its commitments – is a principled position."
"For Ukraine - a key partner and ally of the U.S. in Eastern Europe - this is especially important to know," Poroshenko said.
