In the corner of Petro Poroshenko’s Kyiv office, a large poster shows him shaking hands with Donald Trump, back in the US president’s first term when Poroshenko was his Ukrainian counterpart.
Those were happier times for Kyiv when it came to Trump: on the wall behind Poroshenko’s desk hangs a certificate, signed by Trump’s then secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, in 2018, vowing that the US will not recognise the annexation of Crimea.
