The Republican candidate’s statement “can hardly be called ignorance. It is a breach of moral and civilized principles,” Yatsenyuk wrote.”Donald Trump's recent comments regarding Crimea and Putin during his ABC interview go beyond any form of domestic political campaigning. An official candidate for the United States presidential election has challenged the very values of the free world, civilized world order and international law.”
“What Donald Trump said about Crimea today, he might tomorrow extend to some other part of the world – in Europe, Asia or the Americas.” And that makes it worrisome for everyone. “The United States is the leader of the free world. Without [its] leadership and the alliance, the free world will be destroyed by the likes of Putin, Le Pen, Assad, Kim Jong Un and other dictators, demagogues and populists.”
