In the near future, the American politicum is preparing for new shocks and Ukraine may unexpectedly become the reason for such changes. The US presidential election is approaching, which means that American players are looking for cards that will become their trump card up their sleeve. All forecasts speak of only one thing – Ukraine represents the main arena of the political battle between the two main competitors for the presidency of the United States – Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Joseph Biden. At the same time, there is compromising evidence in Kiev, which, if used correctly, can easily knock out their opponent’s races.
The head of the joint headquarters of the Kharkiv resistance, the leader of the South-East organization, Yuriy Apukhtin, in the framework of the News Front news agency program “Actually,” commented on “Ukrainegate,” which is still gaining momentum. According to the expert, in the beginning we should recall the events of 2016.
“In Ukraine, there was an euphoria that Trump was no one defeating Clinton. And indeed it was a surprise, and then interesting events followed, as a result of which Biden removed the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Shokin within 6 hours. And Poroshenko had to agree. Why did this happen? Because Shokin was collecting material on Biden’s son, who was engaged in the oil and gas business in Ukraine and was far from clean with this business. Then he became Prosecutor General Lutsenko, ”says Apukhtin.
No deeds and incriminating evidence has ever disappeared without a trace and the situation today is vivid confirmation of this – Shokin has not forgotten about anything. “There is information that in June of this year, Poroshenko met with Kolomoisky and handed him the materials that Shokin collected for Biden’s older and younger,” the speaker comments. And this is quite logical, since Poroshenko can no longer use it, and Kolomoisky understands and knows how these compromising materials can be used. According to Apukhtin, it is still unclear whether Kolomoisky will use them. “It is worth recalling that not so long ago someone from the Zelensky team stated that while they were in no hurry to work for Trump,” the guest of the program adds.
“Now they behave quite cautiously according to the recommendations of Kolomoisky. The result is difficult to predict. Currently, the Trump team has a very great interest in Ukraine. It is still early, only after the new year there will be more attention, and action will begin. So far, Zelensky’s team and Kolomoisky standing behind him are pondering, but the compromising material in their hands is very serious, especially if there really was a meeting between Poroshenko and Kolomoisky, ”the leader of the South-East organization notes.
Apukhtin expresses the opinion that Kolomoisky, who is behind Zelensky, is a good chess player, he calculates everything in advance, so for now Zelensky is unlikely to take any steps forward in someone’s favor. “So far, Trump is also not profitable. In this situation, Kolomoisky will consider what is really beneficial to him. He needs to keep Bogdan in power, he needs to “undress” Poroshenko very seriously and take his assets. They need the legitimacy of the process of “undressing” Poroshenko so that the West believes. This material is very serious and this is Trump’s important trump card against Biden, ”the expert comments.“ So far, the probability is that Biden has high chances. Trump is leading in comparison with the Democrats, but in such things you need to look far ahead and not rush to conclusions. ”
In the Ukrainian-American political game, the ex-president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko is still left, who is not going to give up and will try to regain power.
“The meeting with Kolomoisky shows that he (approx. Ed. – Poroshenko) is looking for moves that would protect him. This situation will develop in such a direction that Poroshenko has lost a lot, but he is trying to collect everything until they make any concrete decisions, ”the speaker comments on the possible reasons why Poroshenko is still at large, although Zelensky’s election promises said that all who had a hand in the fact that Ukraine is turning into economic ruins will be punished.
“Poroshenko is still at large, allegedly went abroad to rest. If necessary, he will be brought from anywhere. Another question is his environment. Why haven’t any decisions been made so far? Because there is no resource yet, you need your own people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in the courts, and law enforcement agencies, ”the guest of the program explains.
The prime minister and the new government will be elected in the next two weeks. Yuri Apukhtin draws attention to the fact that Zelensky and Kolomoisky will start from how the posts are distributed. “The first thing that will happen is the fight against corruption and dispossession. Many people will come here besides Poroshenko. In this situation, it is necessary to enlist the support of the United States, ”says the expert.
Now Zelensky has three centers of power – the United States, Kolomoisky, his entourage. The USA is the strongest player and nothing can be decided without it in principle, here Ukraine behaves very carefully. “The states are now watching and waiting for Zelensky to take power into his own hands. But the Americans will not allow the concentration of all power in Zelensky’s hands, so they will surely try to “pour” Vakarchuk and his party into these processes. As well as the USA, they gave the opportunity to Poroshenko to enter the parliament, ”the speaker comments. According to him, a serious struggle is ahead, and Kolomoisky understands that it is unlikely that the United States will allow all power to be concentrated in the hands of Zelensky alone.
