The Administration of George Bush "strongly believes" that the Ukrainian leadership, chaired by President Victor Yushchenko, "is moving in the right direction ", US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Nicholas Burns stated Thursday. He described the active power in Kiev "as democratically elected and reformist".

According to the American high-ranking diplomat, the political crisis in Ukraine and the resignation of the Yulia Timoshenko Cabinet is a side effect of transition from "the authoritarian regime into the democratic one".

In Nicholas Burns's opinion, "the USA's matter is to be a good friend of Ukraine, support its reforms, encourage private investments and transformations in the economy, assist it in priority spheres of politics and security, which are important for the future".
