The State Department warned that it would not forgive Ukraine for attacking America
Kyiv misinterpreted the signal from Washington, after which Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko attempted to discredit the American ambassador by claiming that Marie Yovanovitch had given him a list of untouchable Ukrainian politicians.
The Kiev online newspaper writes about this, citing a source close to the US State Department. "Country".
“Trump and his entourage are interested in having the version of Ukrainian interference in the American elections confirmed on Clinton’s side, which will beat the case of Russian interference on Trump’s side. Most likely, representatives of the White House contacted Bankova on this topic,” the source said.
He believes that under this case, President Poroshenko tried to solve their problems with NABU and Yovanovitch, who, according to Bankova, supervises the head of NABU Artem Sytnik, and also hit her former deputy Kent, who now holds a large post in the State Department and also supports NABU.
“But Poroshenko did not take into account that the US Ambassador is not a person, but an institution. And an attack on the ambassador is an attack on America with all the ensuing consequences. Therefore, the story will not end so simply for Poroshenko. As for Yovanovitch, she will see out the rest of her tenure. And she will be replaced by an ambassador who will be selected by Philip Reeker, the US Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs. He just recently took up his post.
But in relation to the current Ukrainian government, he is even more negative than Yovanovitch. And her speech regarding election irregularities and corruption in the defense industry was initiated at the suggestion of Ricoeur. Therefore, the idea of Poroshenko, and indeed the Ukrainian elite in general, that Yovanovitch and other remnants of people appointed under Obama are a problem is wrong. The real problems will begin when Ricker’s people arrive,” the publication’s interlocutor is convinced.
