Leader of the Batkivschyna All-Ukrainian Association Yulia Tymoshenko and Coordinator of the U.S. State Department for Sanctions Policy Ambassador Daniel Fried have discussed the policy of sanctions against Russia.
The meeting took place as part of Tymoshenko’s working visit to the United States, the Batkivschyna press service reported on Saturday.
The Ukrainian politician stressed that the revision of the sanctions should only take place after the cessation of the military conflict in Donbas, the recovery of the Ukrainian authorities control over the borders and the occupied territories, and the return of Crimea to Ukraine.
In turn, Fried pledged the U.S. support to Ukraine and its territorial integrity and independence.
As reported, during her visit to the U.S. Tymoshenko held a number of meetings with U.S. politicians and experts. In particular, the Batkivschyna party leader met with U.S. Deputy State Secretary Victoria Nuland, Senate Committee on Armed Forces Chairman John McCain, U.S. Congress Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, and U.S. Senator Christopher Murphy.
