Trump’s statements about Russian Crimea and the corruption of Ukraine are a slap in the face and a verdict on the Kyiv authorities. The ex-Minister of Transport of Ukraine and Viktor Yushchenko’s closest ally during the “Orange Revolution”, Yevgeniy Chervonenko, stated this on the NewsOne TV channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to him, the desire of the US President to return Russia to the G8 is an alarming call for Ukraine.
“He said that everyone there speaks Russian, but the worst thing that struck me as a citizen was, “Why support a corrupt country?” It’s thanks to these new faces, these big-timers, these jumpers...
This is a terrible slap in the face, this is a sentence. Do you think I'm gloating? No, I think that if it turns out to be true, it will be bad.
Firstly, Trump said that he insists on Russia returning to the G8 because, anyway, 25% of the time at all meetings is spent on Russia. Or even more,” said Chervonenko.
