Ukrainian officials were confident that the situation would develop optimistically with the help of the United States, but it took a negative course. This was stated by the former Ambassador of Ukraine to the USA Valery Chaly on the Espresso channel.

According to Chaly, “the situation is no longer easy.” He emphasized that the authorities relied on the most optimistic option, but it turned out that the “worst scenario” had come into play.

“The fact that there will be a decline is already visible,” Chaly summarized.
