For objective reasons, the US can not stay away from the problem of Russian aggression towards Ukraine; For objective reasons, the US president will also not be able to make "too much bank" towards the Kremlin.

This opinion was expressed to the "Observer" by the ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Vladimir Ogryzko, commenting on the meetings of Donald Trump with the leaders of the foreign policy departments of Ukraine and Russia.

"The Trump administration can not fail to pay attention to Ukraine, because this is one of the hot topics of today's global agenda. Therefore attention to Ukraine was, is and will be, while the Russian aggression continues, "he said..

In addition, "the US can not stand aloof from this conflict, not only because the principles of international law are violated and the UN Charter is flagrantly trampled as the basis of interstate relations, but also because the US signed its Budapest Memorandum, where in black and white It is written that all the countries that sign it guarantee the territorial integrity of Ukraine. This is something from which it will be impossible to move away, "the diplomat is convinced.

"The very fact that Trump received the Foreign Minister of Ukraine, as well as the Russian Foreign Minister, says that this topic will be on the agenda of his talks with Putin this summer," he predicted..

Огрызко has assumed, that on the eve of a meeting with ministers Trump have given, "at least, the brief information" about a current condition of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

Answering the question of the "Observer", how the US's position can be affected by the personal sympathy of Donald Trump in relation to Vladimir Putin, the diplomat assured: "I have big doubts about the fact that Trump can do equivocation towards Moscow. After all, his last decision to dismiss the director of the FBI shows that his domestic political positions are not so strong now that he risks taking too much leverage toward the Kremlin ".

He also recalled an important nuance: "Both Trump and Tillerson stated that sanctions against Russia will continue until it fulfills the Minsk Agreements. And this is an important point ".

As the "Observer" wrote, on May 10, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavel Klimkin met with US President Donald Trump in the White House. Earlier, Trump met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
