As Mr Steinberg said upon his arrival in Kyiv today, the goal of his visit is to confirm the importance of U.S. relations with Ukraine for the U.S. administration, to emphasize the intentions of President Barack Obama to support and develop the current level of the two countries cooperation. "I will try to pass the firm intention of the United States to continue maintaining the development of democracy in Ukraine, and continue supporting Ukraine's security in this important region in the world," James Steinberg stated.
