WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 23rd January, 2020) US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Wednesday that he would visit Ukraine in the near future.
"I'm going to get there. I'm going to get there before too long," Pompeo said in an interview with Kevin Cirilli of Bloomberg. "I had a trip planned, and then we had an issue arise in the middle East that I had to attend to. While that issue is not behind us and there's still a lot of work to do there, I'll get to Ukraine before too long."
Earlier in January, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's office said he and Pompeo agreed that the latter's visit take place at the end of January.
Initially, Pompeo was scheduled to visit Ukraine on January 3, but had to postpone the trip due to rising tensions in Iraq, where the United States killed top Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani.
