Four senior members of Donald Trump’s entourage have held secret discussions with some of Kyiv’s top political opponents to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, just as Washington aligns with Moscow in seeking to lever the Ukrainian president out of his job.
The senior Trump allies held talks with Ukrainian opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko, a remorselessly ambitious former prime minister, and senior members of the party of Petro Poroshenko, Zelenskyy’s immediate predecessor as president, according to three Ukrainian parliamentarians and a U.S. Republican foreign policy expert.
The discussions centered on whether Ukraine could hold quick presidential elections. These are being delayed in line with the country’s constitution because Ukraine remains under martial law. Critics of holding elections say they could be chaotic and play into Russia’s hands, with so many potential voters serving on the front lines or living abroad as refugees.
Seriously? With Tymoshenko? Trump is naive if he thinks she’ll accept any sort of deal. To me she is sorta fanatic and bit more on radical side. Let alone she was accused of dealing with money laundering and corruption. She ran for president 3 times and her best result was 25% in first round of 2010th. That won’t represent people’s will.
Also WTF is this interference. Accusing Zelenskyy campaigned for Dems when he visited factory at the same time plotting coup with Tymoshenko.
You’re saying she’s a potential criminal?
That’s great!
America loves criminals, especially as leaders. She’ll do perfectly as an installed puppet.
Corrupt is his jam, no wonder.
