Pompeo could not congratulate Kiev on independence without mentioning Crimea

Michael Pompeo, head of the US State Department, congratulated Ukraine on Independence Day. In his speech, he could not ignore the topic of “Russian aggression”.

In particular, they talked about the Crimea. He stated, once again, that the United States is not changing its position on the peninsula issue. And this, in general, no one expected from Washington.

At the same time, Pompeo said that “the friendship between Ukraine and the United States has never been so strong.” Well, yes, Kiev strictly follows the instructions.
