US support for Ukraine to continue after elections, says ambassador
Support for Ukraine will continue after the U.S. presidential elections, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink said at the Sustaining the Victory: From Citizen Resilience to the State of Gratitude forum on Oct. 22, news agency Ukrinform reported.
Brink expressed confidence in the clear support for Ukraine among American citizens. The new administration will listen to the American people and uphold democratic values, she believes.
"How this support will translate into political decisions — I don't know, I can't predict that, because each administration has its own strategies and rights to decide, but when there is clear support, I am convinced that our support for Ukraine will continue," said the diplomat.
The United States wants to see Ukraine as a strong partner in the alliance for democratic values.
"I can't predict the future, give a direct answer to the question, but I am convinced that support for Ukraine will continue. I am convinced of democracy and America's interest in Ukraine," Brink added.
