The United States is ready to continue to support the Ukrainian people and is looking forward to working with new Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi, U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry said today.
“America is here to send a clear message. The president of the United States has asked us to come to share with the people of Ukraine that they can count on the United States, count on working with this president and, hopefully, working with this parliament to make the greatest days ahead for the people of Ukraine,” Perry said.
At the same time, he said that Zelenskyi’s inauguration speech was powerful in the context of his imagery about the future of Ukraine.
The point is that Zelenskyi’s election was about the people of Ukraine, not him, Perry said.
“The United States will stand with the people of Ukraine in their quest for independence, in their quest for freedom, and one of the most powerful ways is that they can see that freedom through economic freedom,” he said.
