Ukraine's President Confident Of Continued U.S. Support

BRUSSELS -- Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has expressed confidence in continued U.S. support for his country after having spoken to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on the phone about Russian "aggression."

Speaking on November 24 at the EU-Ukraine summit in Brussels, Poroshenko said that "Ukraine has strong bipartisan support in the U.S. Congress and among the U.S. politicians, both Republican and Democrat.”

"We don't expect any significant changes in this bipartisan support," he added.

During his campaign, Trump had signaled a more conciliatory approach to the Kremlin and and even suggested he might accept Russia's 2014 annexation of the Crimean Peninsula.
