The so-called reset in relations between Russia and the United States cannot be carried out to the detriment of relations between the United States and Ukraine, US Vice President Joseph Biden said during a visit to Ukraine. “Another country or nation cannot have the right to veto the choice made independent state. Sovereign states have the right to make their own decisions about their foreign policy and choose their allies,” Biden said. In general, the vice president praised Ukraine, saying that it is the freest and most democratic country in the region. He promised Ukraine support on the path to democracy and prosperity, as well as $120 million this year. Biden added that Ukraine's democracy and freedom largely depend on energy security. However, he lamented the presence of political conflicts that hinder progress.
