On January 31, as was reported on the front page of this newspaper, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visited Kyiv, where he met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Foreign Affairs Minister Vadym Prystaiko, Defense Minister Andriy Zahorodnyuk and other leaders in what was meant, to use the State Department’s words, to “underscore the United States’ strong support for Ukraine and the country’s Euro-Atlantic integration.” Surely, the visit was meant also to allay fears that the Trump administration, with President Donald Trump in the midst of impeachment proceedings in the U.S. Senate, was not turning away from Ukraine. It would also serve to counter the negative impression created when Mr. Pompeo, apparently in a fit of anger, had said to an NPR anchor: “Do you think Americans care about Ukraine?”
