Ukraine praises dialogue with Trump

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said Wednesday he has had two “very effective” conversations with US counterpart Donald Trump and was confident of building strong relations with Washington, reports AFP.
Much of Ukraine’s establishment had feared that Trump’s unexpected rise to power and praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin would come at their country’s expense. Kiev and its allies accuse Moscow of sparking and backing a 34-month war in Ukraine’s separatist east aimed at keeping the ex-Soviet republic under its thumb — a charge that Russia denies. Poroshenko told a meeting of Ukraine’s top brass that he “had two very effective conversations with US President Donald Trump.”
Poroshenko added he had a “very important meeting” with US Vice President Mike Pence on the sidelines of this weekend’s Munich Security Conference.
