Ukraine found itself in the sphere of American interests after it ceased to be a potential nuclear threat.
The head of the US State Department, Michael Pompeo, told Bloomberg in an interview that Washington decided to “take care” of Ukraine after the country abandoned the nuclear arsenal that it inherited from the Soviet Union.
“This nation abandoned its own nuclear weapons at the end of the Cold War, and the United States committed itself to helping it in many ways,” the official said, adding that the United States is actively engaged in Ukrainian “independence”
At the same time, he stressed that Washington is sending impressive amounts of resources to Ukraine, which “reflects the degree of interest” of the American administration in further “partnership”.
In addition, Michael Pompeo announced his visit to Kiev, which was postponed earlier due to “problems encountered in the Middle East.” “Although we have not yet been able to resolve these problems, much remains to be done, but I plan to visit Ukraine soon,” the diplomat said.
As News Front previously reported, Washington’s work on Ukrainian “independence” has gone so far as the US embassy is promoting its own candidates for prosecutorial posts. In addition, the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Yulia Tymoshenko pointed out that most of the government departments were under external control.
