Pompeo expects Zelenskyi to ‘re-energize’ talks in Normandy format

United States Secretary of State Michael Pompeo has stated that he expects "better results" from the new president of Ukraine and his team as part of the talks in the Normandy format aimed at ending the aggression of the Russian Federation in eastern Ukraine.

Censor.NET reports, Pompeo said this in an exclusive interview with The Daily Signal.

"We know, Europe knows, we all understand that this was Ukrainian territory, and our mission set couldn’t be clearer," he said.

A readout of Pompeo’s Crimea Declaration in July 2018, posted on the State Department website, says: "The United States rejects Russia’s attempted annexation of Crimea and pledges to maintain this policy until Ukraine’s territorial integrity is restored."
