In particular, in connection with the visit of the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko in the United States press Secretary was asked whether trump defends the position that Russia needs to leave the East of Ukraine and considers whether the President of the United States that Moscow is the aggressor in the conflict in the Donbass.
“I think we made it clear – that Yes, obviously,” said Spicer.
“I mean that one of the reasons why the sanctions is the fact that as long as they do not leave the East of Ukraine, we’re going to continue to keep sanctions against Russia. We believe that it is part of Ukraine, and for this reason, the sanctions will remain, and it’s obviously been a topic which has been discussed with the President today. We will continue to defend it,” said Spicer.
