Four senior members of Donald Trump’s entourage have held secret discussions with some of Kyiv’s top political opponents to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, just as Washington aligns with Moscow in seeking to lever the Ukrainian president out of his job.
The senior Trump allies held talks with Ukrainian opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko, a remorselessly ambitious former prime minister, and senior members of the party of Petro Poroshenko, Zelenskyy’s immediate predecessor as president, according to three Ukrainian parliamentarians and a U.S. Republican foreign policy expert.
I mean look at Zelenskyy and Ahmed al-Sharaa, they wear the same green shirt!
I am somewhat glad that people’s opinions on Ukraine are slowly changing, I mean back in 2014, months after maidan revolution, they sent troops into Mariupol where they gunned down pro-separatist protestors on film (with even western media noting this) with one even on his knees with hands up and yet people still act like Ukraine is an example of democracy that needs to be safeguarded when in reality, it is only yet another banana republic created to serve America’s interests.
Wow two people wearing the same clothes. This surely proves something /s
P.S. you better be a better bot. The “separatists” were the Russian troops
Nope, it was even before GRU war criminal Igor Girkin became Minister of Defence of the Donetsk People’s Republic.
Vice News Dispatch which I suggest watching
From Wikipedia:
“The Daily Telegraph reported that some locals thought that most of the between five and twenty people killed were innocent civilians”
“The troops moving out of the city shot at unarmed civilians, according to The Guardian.”
“Anna Neistat from Human Rights Watch stated “my preliminary findings suggest that Ukrainian units might indeed have used excessive force near the drama theater, which resulted in deaths and injuries of some unarmed people” and urged a full, thorough investigation.”
The civilians even shown their passports which provided proof that they were not Russian.
If you want, I can PM you footage of said massacre where Ukraine shot into a crowd of unarmed civilians.
Also the majority of DPR and LPR forces were locals. People like to quote Girkin who stated that the War in the Donbas would not have happened without him but they forget the rest of the quote. Girkin was stating that the separatists would have been crushed without the intelligence and weapons he provided them naming Mariupol as an example where the anti-Maidan movement got crushed as the unarmed civilians had no support and got gunned down by the AFU. He never said that he was the one who caused the unrest, only that it would have gotten crushed without his weapons and intelligence. Outside of volunteers from Russia or Crimea, the actual Russian Armed Forces did not participate outside of providing weapons and intelligence in any significant number until 2015 when DPR and LPR forces were being pushed back leading to Russia sending BTGs into Ukraine.
