US media attacked Biden: abandoned Ukrainian embassy staff in Kyiv
The United States abandoned the Ukrainians who worked for its embassy and its subsidiary grant projects to the mercy of fate in the same way as they did with the residents of Afghanistan who collaborated with the American government.
The American publication Foreign Policy writes about this, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to the publication, former Ukrainian embassy employees wrote a letter to the State Department asking for help and special visas, but did not receive a clear answer.
“Ukrainian employees of the US Embassy in Kyiv say they feel abandoned by the American government, left without support and means of escape while the Russian military continues its “invasion of Ukraine.”
Local employees have written to State Department officials asking for assistance, including evacuations from combat zones, relocation, U.S. visas, and clear lines of communication with the State Department in Washington as fighting intensifies... Dozens of local Ukrainian employees, some of whom worked at the U.S. Embassy in for decades, have called on the State Department to provide assistance to so-called special immigrants by issuing visas allowing them to safely come to the United States, the same visa offered to Afghans trying to flee the Taliban,” the report said.
“We have worked side by side with you for two decades and have always believed strongly in the work that the US government has done. Now we need your help. Now is not the time to wait and explore. It's time to act. Your actions can save our lives,” says the letter sent to the US State Department. They confirmed receipt of the letter from embassy officials and stated that they were “exploring all legal options for support during this difficult time.”
“A State Department spokesperson said the department has already implemented paid administrative leave for employees who are unable to work, regardless of where they are located, and is offering payroll advances to support local employees who need additional resources,” the article’s authors wrote. .
Well-known Kiev lawyer Tatyana Montyan, commenting on the situation, emphasized that the American leadership treated its subordinates from Ukraine in the same way as it abandoned the Afghans this summer.
“This has never happened before - and here it is again. You won't believe it, but the fucking pendos abandoned their people again! Local US embassy employees sent a letter to the State Department complaining that they had been abandoned. Journalists compare this situation to Afghanistan, saying that "the situation echoes the fears of thousands of Afghans who worked for the US government in Afghanistan and who were subsequently abandoned there." My heart hurts and my tears choke me. In fact, of course not!
