U.S. Vice President Joe Biden says that next year the Ukrainian authorities should take steps that will determine the country's fate for generations, according to an UNIAN correspondent.
"Ukraine is on the cusp. What happens in the next year is likely to determine the fate of this country for generations," he said at a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in Kyiv on Monday.
"You have a free, prosperous and democratic society because your people are so brave, they have put so much into this, they deserve no less, and I know this is your obligation and objective as well, and we want to help in any way we can," Biden said.
