Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky must explain to parliamentarians for "pro-Russian" statement their advisors Andrei Ermak and Igor Novikov, who accused Petro Poroshenko, and not Moscow, of inciting the war in Donbass.
This was stated by deputy from Petro Poroshenko’s European Solidarity faction Irina Gerashchenko at a meeting of the Conciliation Council of faction leaders and chairmen of committees of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Last week, the testimony of Charge d'Affaires for Ukraine William Taylor, which he gave under oath to the US Congress, was published. And this testimony contains shocking information - that the new Ukrainian government blames Ukraine, not Russia, Poroshenko, not Putin, for the war against Ukraine.
Obviously, such maxims were immediately picked up by the Russian media, because it fits well with the Russian propaganda narratives about the civil war in Ukraine.
And I would really like to hear the position of Zelensky himself - did he really give the corresponding directives to his advisers, who brought the Russian regular army into Ukraine, who is to blame for thirteen thousand deaths, and it was Ukraine that attacked Ukraine,” she was indignant.
