President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko said on Thursday that the elected President of the United States, Donald Trump, in a telephone conversation with him raised "questions about Russian aggression and the illegal annexation of the Crimea."

Speaking at a press conference in Brussels with Donald Tusk and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, Poroshenko said that he had “the opportunity to give Trump very detailed information about recent events in eastern Ukraine and the Crimea.”

The Ukrainian leader also said that his country enjoys "strong support from both parties in the US, in Congress, among American politicians - both Republicans and Democrats" - and does not expect any significant changes in this matter.

Trump’s comments during the election campaign raised fears that if he won, he would try to improve relations with Russia to the detriment of Ukraine. He repeatedly spoke with praises of President Putin and criticized the Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton, for the negative reviews about him.

A few days after Trump's victory in the Kremlin, they said that during a telephone conversation with Putin they called bilateral relations “unsatisfactory” and agreed to work together to improve them.

Commenting on the same conversation, the Trump press office said that Putin had called to “congratulate” the elected president, and that Trump had expressed the hope “to build strong relations with Russia and its people.”

Meanwhile, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, speaking Thursday at the University of Oxford in England, said that Trump had expressed “strong support” to the Western military alliance in a telephone conversation they had last week.

“I spoke to the president-elect on the phone last week and he expressed strong support for NATO, supported the very idea of ​​NATO, collective self-defense and collective guarantees. And I am sure that this will continue,” Stoltenberg emphasized. “It’s not just that the president-elect has clearly stated that he supports NATO and the obligations that we all have as members of the alliance. I myself firmly believe in this, because NATO’s strength is not only beneficial to Europe. This is a cornerstone of our security, but it also benefits the United States.”

During the election campaign, Trump said that the United States needed to “reconsider” its role in NATO, that America bears too much financial burden in the alliance, and also called the alliance an “obsolete” institution.
