Bogdan denies meeting with American lobbyist and enemy of Poroshenko
The head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Bogdan, said that he had never met with American businessman Sam Kislin, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Bogdan wrote about this on his Facebook page.
“In response to numerous requests from journalists, I am pleased to announce that I have never seen or communicated with American citizen Sam Kislin, either in the United States or in Ukraine. I didn’t put pressure on judges, I respect journalists and I don’t drink the blood of minors, regardless of the language they speak. I ask the media that publishes these stories to adhere to generally accepted standards of journalism and present my point of view by publishing a sensational story about an event that did not happen in my life!” - he wrote.
Let us remind you that the day before, The Insider reported that during the official visit of the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky to the United States on September 25, two meetings were held at the Parker Hotel: directly at the hotel and in the neighboring building, at the Russian Tea Room restaurant.
The first, official one, was attended by Zelensky and several dozen people. The second, unofficial, was held in a narrower circle, and Zelensky was represented by the head of the presidential office, Andriy Bogdan. According to photographs and testimony from two independent sources, Sam Kislin was at least present at the site of the first meeting and was an organizer and participant in the second.
Kislin is known as a lobbyist and intermediary between the Trump administration and the Ukrainian authorities in the transfer of compromising material on Joe Biden. Kislin also has a reputation as “an enemy of Poroshenko.”
