Ukraine has been a strong partner to the United States on international initiatives and a committed ally in fighting the War on Terrorism.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The United States supports a strong, united Ukraine with productive and peaceful relationships with both the East and the West, with both Russia and Europe.
We have an interest in excellent relations because we are neighbours as Europeans with Russia. We are allies with the United States in the NATO framework.
Russia can become a strategic partner in a fight against international terrorism.
Ukraine is also successfully moving toward democracy and making progress expanding freedoms and rights to its people. We can help Ukraine achieve these goals and improve its economy by normalizing trade relations.
Indeed, Russia and the U.S. were allies during the two tragic conflicts of the Second and the First World Wars, which allows us to think there's something objectively bringing us together in difficult times, and I think - I believe - it has to do with geopolitical interests and also has a moral component.
Ukraine is a vital link for Europe: our energy transportation networks; our location between the European Union and Eurasia. We're the melting pot of Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity. The democracy we founded with the Orange Revolution has to be an example for other post-Soviet states.
If I correctly understand the goal of American policy, one wishes Russia to be a partner.
For Poland, the United States is the most important ally.
The goal of our actions is and will remain a sovereign and territorially intact Ukraine that can decide its own future.
Of course the United States and Russia have different interests. Nevertheless, both are strategic partners.
