This was reported by a correspondent of “PolitNavigator” with reference to the publication of the Kyiv publication “Ukrainian Pravda”.
The material states that in a short speech in the open part of the conference, a State Department official emphasized that the United States was “shocked” by Ukraine’s readiness to confront external challenges and recognize the successful implementation of certain reform tasks.
“New bodies have been created - NABU, SAPO and the new Patrol Police, which have our strong support,” Brownfield said.
At the same time, he noted a key issue of concern to Washington.
“I can only repeat the words of US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, which he said at the last NATO ministerial meeting: there is no point in us fighting for the body of the Ukrainian state, including in the East, if it loses its soul due to corruption,” Brownfield said.
