"I have no doubt that it is impossible to maintain the United States' global leader status without a clear position as regards Ukraine," he stressed.
He mentioned that he had several phone conversations with U.S. President Trump, a meeting with U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, efficient talks with U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
