“There will be a call. We are confident of this. President Biden has clearly stated his commitment to relations with the whole world and confirmed that he is a loyal friend of Ukraine,” Langenkamp said.
According to him, the current US administration has already paid a lot of attention to Ukraine. He also recalled that Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is personally interested in interaction with the Ukrainian side. During February, he spoke with Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, and US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin with his Ukrainian counterpart, Andriy Taran.
“The White House and Blinken reaffirmed their commitment to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine with statements on the 7th anniversary of the illegal annexation of Crimea. The Biden administration has already committed itself to participate in the Crimean platform,” Langenkamp said.
In addition, US aid continues unabated, and on March 5, Washington announced another $ 125 million tranche for security support. The embassy spokesman noted that the new administration still needs time to settle down, and right now President Biden is focused on internal problems, including the fight against the pandemic.
He also denies that the United States has made any demands on President Zelenskiy.
“Ukraine is a partner, and in accordance with our relationship with all our partners, we do not put forward demands or conditions. We are encouraged that Zelenskiy has taken decisive action in recent weeks against the malevolent interests that are pulling Ukraine down,” he added.
