Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine for Information Policy Kirill Tymoshenko initiated an official investigation into the identity of certain fragments of President Vladimir Zelensky’s speech at a joint briefing with President of the European Council Donald Tusk and Petro Poroshenko’s speech at the congress of the European Solidarity party, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This was reported by the press service of the Presidential Administration.
“It has been previously established that employees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, who prepared theses for the briefing of President Vladimir Zelensky, simultaneously continued to work for Petro Poroshenko. At the same time, the content and agenda of the negotiations between Vladimir Zelensky and the leaders of the EU and NATO were formed separately by employees of the team of the Administration of the President of Ukraine,” the message says.
Thus, representatives of the previous government had no influence on the issues that Zelensky discussed with European partners and friends of Ukraine.
It is noted that if private cooperation between civil servants of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Poroshenko is confirmed, strict managerial, disciplinary and personnel conclusions will be made.
“We regard this as sabotage on the part of individual employees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a deliberate provocation on the part of Petro Poroshenko’s team,” the AP added.
Earlier, the press secretary of the former president, Svyatoslav Tsegolko, accused the current President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky of plagiarism.
