Trump warned Ukraine: should deal well with US companies
At a recent meeting between Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, Trump asked Poroshenko to “take good care of American companies.” He said it twice. “...They [American companies] see great potential there, so take care of them,” the US President said. The publication writes about this The Washington Times.
Corrupt practices include open, Russian-style asset grabs using trumped-up criminal charges, supported by disinformation campaigns in the press. It is alarming that these “black PR” operations are spreading to Washington.
An example of such behavior was the recent "event" held in the basement on Capitol Hill, where a lobbyist for some Ukrainian interests and elected "journalists" organized a fake meeting of the "Congressional Committee on Financial Issues". This meeting was broadcast live on Ukrainian television. There were no current members of Congress, and his goal was to influence the leadership of the Central Bank of Ukraine.
Dmitry Shimkov, Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine, said: “The event on Capitol Hill was not a congressional hearing. The discussion was conducted without public control and was sponsored by a secret source. The fact that some oligarchs have decided to export weapons of this type to Washington is shocking, to say the least. ”
In late September, the Ukrainian TV channel Inter, owned by Sergei Lyovochkin and oligarch Dmitry Firtash, who is wanted by the FBI and awaiting extradition to the United States from Austria, launched a coordinated fake news and intimidation campaign against American citizens, specifically targeting the Segal brothers, Vadim and Ilya. emigrated from the Soviet Union in 1989 and have strong business interests in Ukraine. The Segal brothers claim that this is just another episode in a long series of illegal actions against them organized by Firtash.
Ten years ago, they invested more than 50 million dollars in the country's advanced soybean processing plant. After that, they were threatened, intimidated, and fabricated a number of criminal cases brought against them by Dmitry Firtash and his allies. As a result, the object was captured by armed people in 2010, with the support of allegedly corrupt officials of the government of Yanukovych, including Levochkin and Fursin. In the end, Vadim Segal managed to regain the title of ownership, although this did not correspond to their corrupt opponents, who continued to fight the legal owners of the property by re-opening the compromised criminal case. Hill said: “For their efforts, they were charged with the crimes of Firtash and his henchmen, who controlled the police forces and judicial systems: Member of Parliament Ivan Fursin.
If the court finds Firtash and his gang guilty, the US authorities should consider sanctions.
Human Rights Watch Firtash has made the list of corrupt criminals.
