The Ukrainian leadership consciously interfered in the 2016 presidential election in the USA on the Democrats’ side.
Petro Poroshenko, being the President of Ukraine, discussed with Joe Biden how information discrediting Paul Manafort, ex-head of electoral headquarters Donald Trump, was distributed in Kiev.
This is evidenced by the records of the telephone conversation between Poroshenko and Biden, which were made public by Ukrainian MP Andriy Derkach on Thursday, July 9.
“And one more thing, just as a joke. We have published the documents of the former Party of Regions. As I understood, one of Mr Trump’s key advisers, Paul Manafort, resigned today”, – Poroshenko said.
He stressed that it was a “bad idea” from Trump’s side to take on a person related to the former President Viktor Yanukovych. Biden responded that Trump made many bad decisions.
In 2016, the Party of Regions circulated information from the “black accounting” in Ukraine. The documentation published by the then MP, Serhiy Leshchenko, included the name of Paul Manafort. Two years later, he was found guilty of laundering money of his Ukrainian clients.
