After the meeting, Kiev mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said that during the dialogue with Christine Quinn, Kiev's readiness for a possible Russian invasion was discussed, as well as issues related to the training of self-defense forces.
During the talks, the U.S. chargé d'affaires emphasized that a stop in other regions of Ukraine depends on a stable situation in the capital.
"We are also united in the opinion that today is the time for all branches of government and for all political forces to join forces to defend Ukraine. Quarrels and political aikido in the country only destabilize the situation, which can be used by the enemy. And we have only one enemy. It is the Russian aggressor," Vitali Klitschko summed up in his Facebook.
