British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said he is confident that the United States will continue to support Ukraine even if Donald Trump is re-elected as U.S. president in 2024.

Sunak said this in an interview with CNN, according to Ukrinform.

"I did spend a good amount of time in Congress yesterday talking to leaders from both parties, and I think there is strong support for the efforts that America is putting in to support Ukraine. […] I think there's an acknowledgment, as I said, that the values that we're fighting for are universal. They're values that America has always stood up for, which is democracy, freedom and the rule of law," he said.
