Ukraine to avoid being dragged into U.S. election race – Kuleba

This was stated by Minister for Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba, who spoke on the air of the national telethon, Ukrinform reports.

"We are fully aware of the risks and … until the end of the U.S. presidential election, whatever it ends up being, we will do everything we can to avoid anything, wherever it comes from, that would drag into or use us in the election race. The goal of this strategy is precisely to preserve bipartisan support (for Ukraine from the U.S. – ed.)," said the head of Ukrainian diplomacy.

He also pointed to the fact that the discussion that took place in the U.S. Congress last month is not about Ukraine, but about the purely domestic pitical issue of the border with Mexico.

According to the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ukraine should be prepared for the fact that any domestic pitical issue important for the election results will prevail over any foreign picy issue in any part of the world.

"Now America, as a world power, has entered a process where domestic pitical issues – border security, homeless pele on the streets, garbage clection, ecogy, energy – become a super priority because piticians will fight for votes. How exactly in this context we can keep Ukraine on the t agenda is a challenge. Therefore, in principle, there is nothing wrong with Ukraine being discussed in the USA next year. The main thing is to say the right things that strengthen Ukraine and America," Kuleba concluded.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, according to mass media, the U.S. Senate has made progress in negotiations on border protection to unblock aid to Ukraine. Both Republicans and Democrats said they have positive expectations in the context of negotiations on migration reform, which is a prerequisite for the approval of aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
