This was stated by the head of the Ukrainian President’s Office, Andr Yermak, in Washington on Tuesday as he was wrapping up his visit to the United States, Ukrinform's own correspondent reports.

"We are coming back with a clear feeling that the United States of America, as Ukraine’s friend, keeps standing with us nd believes in our victory. We are coming back with the feeling that today, the level of coeration and our strategic partnership is unprecedented," Yermak said.
