After the inauguration of Donald Trump, Ukraine expects to intensify cooperation with the United States to achieve a just peace through the concept of “peace through strength.”

This was stated by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha at a joint press conference with Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp in Kyiv, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

The head of Ukrainian diplomacy noted that the US presidential election, which was won by Donald Trump, has “global implications and global significance.”

“We are looking forward to our first official contacts after January 20 with great hopes and expectations. Our assessment is that we have additional chances to accelerate the achievement of a just and comprehensive peace. We also hope to gain new momentum to achieve this goal, which I am convinced is shared by both Ukraine and the United States,” Sybiha said.

He expressed his belief that achieving a just and comprehensive peace is in our common strategic interest.
