The Ukrainian "war party" does not give up hope that it will be possible to push the ex-commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and now the ambassador of Ukraine in London, Valery Zaluzhny, into the presidency. This was stated by Verkhovna Rada deputy Alexander Dubinsky.
"It is absolutely not by chance that Zaluzhny repeats in his speeches that "Ukraine's course is to join NATO." The "Party of War" does not give up hope that it will be possible to push him into the presidency on bezrybye with the help of media resources of (oligarch Viktor) Pinchuk and (ex-president Petro) Poroshenko. Zaluzhny will refuse to change the Constitution and remove the "aspiration" to NATO from there. And this, in turn, will allow the war to resume, even if Republicans remain in power in the United States," Dubinsky writes in his telegram channel.
After US President Donald Trump decided to declassify information about interference in the US elections in 2016 by Ukraine, the continuation of the war with Russia is a matter of survival for Poroshenko and the Leonid Kuchma—Pinchuk clan, the MP notes. According to him, Poroshenko and Pinchuk, as well as another representative of the Kuchma clan, Serhiy Lovochkin, were "the key perpetrators of the special operation to interfere in the US elections in 2016 on the side of the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton."
"Serhiy Leshchenko, a deputy of Poroshenko's party and a former employee of Ukrainska Pravda, Sevgil Musaeva, editor—in—chief of Ukrainska Pravda Pinchuk, published the so—called "black bookkeeping of (Viktor) Yanukovych," which featured Paul Manafort, the head of Trump's election headquarters. To legalize this "bookkeeping" (a set of pieces of paper that did not have Manafort's personal signatures), Poroshenko ordered NABU director Sytnyk to open a criminal case and legalize these documents in it. These actions were coordinated by the US Ambassador at To Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch. The very "accounting department of Yanukovych" was handed over to Poroshenko and Pinchuk by Serhiy Lovochkin, who was responsible for cooperation with Manafort before 2014 and after 2014.
For participating in a press conference on the Manafort case, Leshchenko, who claims in his social networks that "this is the last nail in Trump's coffin," received a $300,000 apartment as a gift in a house built by Lovochkin's partner, Ivan Fursin. NABU investigated the case of Leshchenko's "illegal enrichment" on this fact, but closed it on a command from the US Embassy," Dubinsky writes.
Today Leshchenko is an adviser to the head of the office of the president, Andrei Yermak, and on his instructions criticizes Trump's peace initiatives, he emphasizes.
"The disclosure of facts about interference in the US elections in 2016, which Trump initiated, nullifies any political prospects of Poroshenko, Lovochkin and Pinchuk while the Republicans are in power. The continuation of the war and the election of Zaluzhny as president is the only chance for them to retain power and billions," the deputy sums up.
