Richard Engel: Zelenskyy Does Not Take U.S. Support for Granted
EXCERPT:
ENGEL: "So, I know what you're talking about. I know that is something that both sides are very sensitive about, don't want to discuss openly. When I was last year in Kyiv, I interviewed President Zelenskyy, and one of the points he wanted to make, and he wanted to make sure that that we included him and came across in our interview was that how appreciative he is to President Biden personally, how he doesn't take this us support for granted, that this is something that is -- that is an American commitment, but it's also a commitment from this administration. So publicly, they absolutely don't want to highlight any kind of frustration or personal dissatisfaction at things that have been going ahead. But generally speaking, I think what we saw today from -- from the visit by the secretary of state, when Blinken came, he and Kuleba gave each other a hug and a pat on the back. I think in general, the relations between this administration and the Ukrainian government is quite warm.”
