WARSAW (Reuters) – U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said on Sunday Washington will continue to support Ukraine, after meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Warsaw.
Washington is a key ally for Kiev, having imposed sanctions on Russia for annexing Crimea in 2014 and backing pro-Moscow separatists in Ukraine’s east.
Pence and Zelenskiy were in Warsaw for commemoration to mark the 80th anniversary of the start of World War Two.
