"Success in Ukraine is one of Russia's biggest fears. The United States has spent more than two billion dollars to achieve this goal," said Mr. Sullivan.
According to him, the reason Washington supports Kiev is related to the fact that Ukraine has untapped "potential".Earlier, US President Donald Trump signed the defense budget for fiscal year 2018, which provides $350 million in military assistance to Ukraine, half of which can only be spent based on the results of Kiev's military reforms.
