US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo sought to reassure Ukraine that it retains America’s unwavering support, despite President Donald Trump’s impeachment saga and his own recent remarks about the eastern European nation.
“Ukraine is an important country,” Pompeo said Friday in Kyiv alongside Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. He called the nation a “bulwark between freedom and authoritarianism.”
The top U.S. diplomat is visiting Kyiv as Trump’s impeachment trial in the Senate continues following revelations last year that the president withheld military aid to pressure Ukraine into investigating the family of former Vice President Joe Biden, a potential rival in the 2020 election.
