He added, however, that he was 100% certain that the EU and US saw eye to eye on Russia, but added that they did agree on the conflict in the east Ukraine issue. Continuing he underlined that the core message he conveyed to Mr. Trump “which gave meaning to our friendship and relationship” were the fundamental rights of the west “like freedom, human rights and respect to human dignity”.
