    With the RUSSIANS, just fucking say it!!!

    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.

      Petro Poroshenko the former President of Ukraine, and Yulia Tymoshenko a former Prime Minister of Ukraine are Russian now?

        They’re working for them, yeah?

        Edit: I’m looking more deeply into them. I only had a rudimentary knowledge. They may or may not be working for them.

            No, you’re right. They may or may not be working for them. Regardless, if they’re willing to go behind Zelenskyy’s back with the republicans in the US, they aren’t on Ukraine’s side and helping the Russians. They may not be doing it intentionally.

              Perhaps, or perhaps they told Trump to fuck off. Or perhaps they don’t agree with Zelensky’s approach to ending the war and are trying to replace him, etc etc. I think it’s disingenuous and dangerous to assume that if someone doesn’t 100% agree with the current president of Ukraine that they are traitors.

                Why would they meet in secret?

                Also, this:

                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.

                The discussions centered on whether Ukraine could hold quick presidential elections. These are being delayed in line with the country’s constitution because Ukraine remains under martial law. Critics of holding elections say they could be chaotic and play into Russia’s hands, with so many potential voters serving on the front lines or living abroad as refugees.
