US National Security Council employee Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman said at congressional hearings as part of the impeachment of Donald Trump that the Ukrainian authorities had offered him the post of defense minister three times.
This was reported by the Ukrainian TV channel ICTV, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Vindman comes from Ukraine, although he left the USSR at the age of 3.
At the hearing, he clarified that three times he received an offer from Maidan activists from Kyiv to head the Ministry of Defense, but he took it as a joke, since he considers himself a US military personnel.
