WASHINGTON, April 22 (Reuters) - Ukrainian Prime Minister
Denys Shmyhal said on Friday that he "absolutely" expected the
United States would eventually re-open its embassy in Ukraine,
but stopped short of predicting when that would happen.
"It will happen, absolutely, but we will wait," Shmyhal told
reporters at a conclusion of a visit to Washington, when asked
whether he had received assurances from the United States that
it would re-open its embassy.
Britain announced on Friday it would reopen its embassy in
the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv next week, joining other European
countries that have announced such plans after Russian forces
withdrew from the country's north in the face of strong
Ukrainian resistance.
