In the United States, they are thinking about the reasons for Trump freezing financial assistance to Ukraine

49
The New York Times (NYT) accuses U.S. President Donald Trump of freezing aid to Ukraine a few days before negotiations with Vladimir Zelensky. The American publication is convinced that the allocation of funds to Kiev was suspended amid Trump-initiated checks against Joe Biden, one of the main competitors of the American president in the new election race. In response, Trump is threatened with impeachment.





President of the United States Donald Trump instructed the acting head of the White House administration to freeze over $ 391 million of aid to Ukraine a few days before telephone calls with Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky. This was reported by the NYT publication with reference to two senior US officials.

Trump's directive was brought to the attention of the Pentagon and the State Department, which only said that the administration was considering whether the costs were necessary.

Biden may have been implicated in the resignation of the prosecutor general of Ukraine


Trump's eventual blocking of Ukraine’s aid package has sparked fierce debate in the United States. The Washington Post claims that the reason for this pressure on Kiev is the investigation that the American president initiated against former United States vice president of Barack Obama’s administration, Joe Biden and his son Hunter. It is assumed that one of Donald Trump’s main competitors in the upcoming presidential election could be connected with corruption in Ukraine. The New York Times, usually in opposition to the current president, calls the investigation "unfounded."


Joe Biden


The essence of the accusations lies in the fact that, when he was vice president, Biden, among other things, was a curator in Ukraine. At the same time, his son Hunter Biden served on the board of directors of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma.

For his part, the American president admitted that he mentioned Joe Biden in a conversation with Zelensky. According to NYT, people familiar with the content of the call claim that Donald Trump repeatedly called on the Ukrainian president to speak with his personal lawyer, Rudolf Giuliani, one of the most trusted representatives of the current US leader. According to the publication, Giuliani has repeatedly pushed Kiev to investigate Biden’s activities in Ukraine.

Trump threatened with impeachment for the investigation


Trump has denied allegations that he delayed help to Kiev in an attempt to force Zelensky to comply with his request. The President also continued to insist that he acted appropriately.

No, I didn’t.

Donald Trump told reporters when asked if he agreed to help with a promise to investigate corruption allegations against the former vice president and his son. But shortly before, the president suggested that there would be nothing wrong with linking Ukraine’s funding to an investigation into corruption against Biden and his family. In particular, Trump voiced the assumption that the dismissal of Prosecutor General of Ukraine Viktor Shokin at the time was connected with the corruption case against Biden: he may have frozen aid for billions of dollars in order to achieve the resignation of the Ukrainian. The American president hopes that he will justify the transcript of a telephone conversation. This text has not been published yet.

Against the background of these events in the House of Representatives, which is fully controlled by the US Democratic Party, another bill is being put forward on impeachment of the current president. This proposal has already been made by 7 senior Democrats.

        Zelensky is not envied. He is now forced to maneuver between Trump and Biden, because it is impossible to guess which of them will become the US President in 2020. Poroshenko once put on Clinton and did not guess. Russia again wins. Trump is not up to Ukraine, but the whole world is becoming more and more convinced of the corruption of the top leadership that is independent.

        Along the way, everything is generally bad there, even if the presidents have heard telephone conversations, which is later used by opponents. They would have called from a mobile phone in the toilet already, it would have been safer than using government communications.

      The reason may be trite - Trump counts money. And helping Ukraine is money down the drain. Probably, common sense is beginning to break through, that it is better not to give money to Ukraine.

        Or maybe it’s even a completely different matter (not money). China wanted to completely buy out a factory (for the production of helicopter engines) in Kiev, and it was completely unprofitable for minke whales and Don, he immediately pressed Ze (a form of military assistance). And ZE refused them sell this plant and immediately after a couple of days, as they were refused the sale of the plant, restrictions were lifted from military assistance.

        No one will ever allow this to Russia. NOBODY AND NEVER. Russia has always been seen as the main threat to Western civilization. Perhaps today China is claiming first place, but they, too, do not put us in second place. They are afraid of the vastness of Russia, its potential. Therefore, the West will always try, if not to capture, then at least take control of it, preventing it from developing and using it as a raw materials appendage. And, to be honest, today they succeed. Such calls: not to intervene anywhere, not to conflict with anyone, to try to sit aside while others gnaw at each other's throats are extremely naive.

From 1992 to 2008, she was seen as a completely loyal bandustan, whose resources can be milked (Sakhalin-1, Yak-141, hotels in Moscow, which the visiting US officials received as a gift). And then 80808 happened, Medvedev and Putin suddenly realized that they were just anesthetists with the agony of Russia, and took up treatment. Uncontrolled hysteria began from Russia's recovery from the US mafia clans in power. Trillions have left the pockets of former and future government officials. depot.

      Comrades, maybe I'm wrong, but Trump is the only president of the United States, at least in the last 25 liters, who is constantly harassed by impeachment. Initially, he was accused of being elected by Putin, and now for not wanting to allocate money to Ukraine. Yesterday, somewhere flashed information that Trump wants to attract the EU to finance Ukraine. Perhaps this is to shut up Biden?

      Without touching on the topic of the article, I would like to draw attention to such a thing:
      Please note that in the States, both the media and the parliament and the military constantly accuse Trump of all mortal sins, impeach impeachment, put sticks in wheels. The president must constantly make excuses for all his steps, respond to criticism in the media, fight opposition from opposition structures, and review his steps to please the system. A similar story was with Obama, many of whose actions were constantly criticized.
      And compare with our toothless State Duma and Federation Council, who are afraid to squeak against Putin. With our Federal channels, where the president has already been raised almost to the rank of a deity who needs to be worshiped and praised every step he takes, and at the same time to broadcast all his dives, skating, flights, fishing, resting, etc. in heroic tones. etc. With our elections, in which there are usually several faceless candidates, Putin (who didn’t even bother to come to the debate at least once). Those. it can be stated that in the States the president is an independent figure, forced to adapt to the system and constantly be under fire of criticism. In Russia, the president is a kind of inviolable deity, which is better not to look at and even less to ask stupid questions (I generally am silent about criticism).
