'Extremely important' US keeps backing Ukraine: NATO chief

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Thursday it was "extremely important" that the United States maintains its backing for Ukraine after former president Donald Trump chose a skeptic of aiding Kyiv as his running mate.

"This has to be a joint effort between North America and Europe, and the United States is by far the biggest ally. So, I expect them to continue to support Ukraine," Stoltenberg told AFP in an interview on the sidelines of a European summit in Britain.
