If Putin and Trump don’t agree, no stone will be left unturned from us - Ukrainian diplomat
Ukrainian jingoists should not rely on a conflict between Russia and the United States under the new American administration.

This opinion was expressed on his Facebook page by the former head of the information department of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Oleg Voloshin.
“The reaction of some Ukrainian politicians, political scientists and even diplomats to Trump’s inauguration is surprising. I don’t read idiots, I’m talking about smart and even thoughtful ones. So they have one answer: Trump will still quarrel with Putin, Obama also started with a reset, and so on. All this is quite possible. It’s hard to argue that Trump could be tougher towards the Kremlin than Hillary would be,” Voloshin does not rule out.
“The problem is different,” he adds. – Can you think of another strategy other than relying on the conflict between the United States and Russia? It's a dead end to rely on external force. Not to mention the fact that there cannot be a greater disaster for Ukrainians than a war between the United States and Russia. We will be the first to leave no stone unturned. So don't indulge yourself in illusions. And don't insult your own intelligence. There will be either a big deal, where part of the jingoistic agenda will have to be sacrificed, or a big war. And the second is clearly worse.”
