NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Thursday said it was "extremely important" that the United States maintains its backing for Ukraine, after former president Donald Trump chose a sceptic of aiding Kyiv as his election running mate.
"European allies and Canada can of course do more, but it's extremely important that the United States continues to provide support to Ukraine," the head of the Western military told AFP on the sidelines of a European summit in Britain.
