Ukrainians are ready... to stand shoulder to shoulder with the United States, or in the trenches next to Tehran, or... in North Korea, or next to Beijing, it doesn’t matter,” he said in an interview with CNN.
At the same time, Goncharenko noted that Ukraine currently lacks support from its allies.
Vladimir Zelensky previously admitted that the Ukrainian authorities do not have a plan B in case the United States stops providing assistance to Kyiv.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski arrived in the United States to convince congressmen to approve aid for Ukraine.
