Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavel Klimkin confirmed the upcoming meeting of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko with US President Donald Trump. In an interview with Radio Sputnik, political expert Alexander Dudchak said that the very fact of the meeting is more important for Kiev than its results.

According to Dudchak, regardless of the real outcome of the meeting, Kiev will present it as a win.

"It does not even matter what Donald Trump says [there]. [Kiev] will still interpret it in its own way. Trump is expected to express his support for Ukraine's political course. Additionally, in general, Poroshenko hopes to receive some kind of official support. However, regardless of whether he receives it or not — he will still present it as favoring his course," Dudchak said.
