He was bracing, he said, for an “information war” on the issue.
Still, as the largest democracy in the former Soviet Union, he said, Ukraine remained a natural long-term partner for the United States.
“It seems to me the United States relates to Ukraine like the United States relates to democracy,” he said.
“No matter who is president, he will always respect democracy and, in the same way, regardless who is president there will always be this relationship with Ukraine.
