Ukraine views Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election as another step toward peace. This can accelerate the peace process, says Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha at a joint press conference with his Czech counterpart Jan Lipavský.
He says that Ukraine currently has the firm support of its largest ally, the United States. It is both bipartisan support and support of the American people.
The minister believes that Ukraine's fight against Russian aggression is about restoring world order and security based on the principles of international law.
“We see Trump's victory as an additional chance to accelerate the peace process with Peace through strength approach. And based on this philosophy, we hope to build our relations with the new Trump administration,” Sybiha said.
