Ganapolsky accused Tymoshenko of lying and manipulation
The leader of the Batkivshchyna party and a candidate in the upcoming presidential elections in Ukraine has spat in the souls of many Ukrainians by using “fakes” and “cyborgs” in her election campaign.
Former Russian journalist and now Ukrainian TV presenter Matvey Ganapolsky, who today serves the interests of current President Petro Poroshenko, stated this on the air of the talk show “Echo of Ukraine,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The famous writer Paulo Coelho said that he never supported the candidacy of Yulia Tymoshenko. In the documentary, which was presented by the Batkivshchyna party, they showed a message from the writer that he spoke positively about Yulia Tymoshenko. In response, he tweeted: “I may like her as a person, but I have never posted anything supporting her candidacy. Ukrainian politics is not my business.”
In addition, members of Batkivshchyna showed a video message former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who allegedly expressed support for Yulia Tymoshenko. But here, too, it turned out that the interview, from which a separate moment was cut out, was sent to all candidates and did not reveal any sympathy for a specific person.
Tymoshenko responded to this that it was a biographical film that showed her life and work. Support of foreign representatives is generally prohibited during the election campaign. It’s the journalists’ fault for covering it in this way,” Ganapolsky said.
Also in the studio of the TV channel the candidate was reproached for manipulations involving “cyborgs”. Allegedly, for the Ukrainian people this is an example to follow and military valor, so the use of this technique had a negative impact on Tymoshenko’s ratings.
Adding fuel to the fire was the fact that at the party congress, among the “cyborgs” there were only three people who actually fought at the Donetsk airport. The rest were used as extras.
