STOCKHOLM: Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on Monday said he has “no doubt” that president-elect Donald Trump will refuse to recognise Russia’s annexation of Crimea, and will cooperate with his country.
“Not one state in the world, except it seems to me North Korea and Venezuela, recognises Crimea,” Poroshenko told a joint news conference with Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven in Stockholm.
The “United States is not North Korea. And let’s respect United States’ people, the United States and the United States president,” he added.
When asked about the possibility of “an agreement” with Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin about recognising Crimea, Poroshenko responded: “I am absolutely sure that the new president-elect is completely strong enough in an effective cooperation with Ukraine … no doubt.”
In an interview with ABC in August, Trump suggested that the US could accept Russia’s annexation of Crimea if it led to improved relations between the two nations, which are bitterly at odds over Syria.

Even in Trump's inner-circle, there's got to be some disagreement on some issues like this one. I'd think Pence and Sessions would rather us continue aiding Ukraine, keep sanctions up on Russia. Giuliani probably feels that way too.
