Kyiv, Ukraine: EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell arrived Saturday in Kyiv to reassure Ukraine of Europe's backing in the first visit by a top Brussels official after Donald Trump's poll win.
The volatile Republican's victory in the United States election has set nerves jangling in Ukraine and Europe that Trump could end Washington's support for Kyiv's fight against Russia's invasion.
"The message is a clear one -- the Europeans will continue to support Ukraine," Borrell, who is set to leave office next month, told an AFP journalist accompanying him.
"We have been supporting Ukraine since the beginning, and on this my last visit to Ukraine, I convey the same message, we will support you as much as we can."
On the campaign trail, Trump cast doubt on maintaining the vast US military and financial aid to Ukraine and said he could cut a quick deal to end the war.
