1 / 3UkraineFormer Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko speaks to media prior the parliament session in Kyiv, Ukraine, Wednesday Oct. 2, 2019. KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine's former president said Wednesday he discussed investments with President Donald Trump's attorney, Rudy Giuliani, in 2017, but that he never discussed Ukrainian companies with any U.S. official.
Poroshenko said he met Giuliani in 2017 as a"friend of Ukraine" and they discussed"political support and investment" but nothing else. He wouldn't elaborate. In his first public comments on the phone call, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Trump's critics are using"every excuse to attack" the U.S. president. Putin made his remarks at a conference in Moscow.
But they are worried about one thing: that Ukraine's role in the Trump affair strengthens Russia's hand, and hobbles the politically inexperienced Zelenskiy just as he's trying to tackle the problems that matter to them most: corruption and an armed conflict with Russian-backed separatists in the east that has divided their nation.
A rough transcript of the July phone call between Trump and Zelenskiy shows the Ukrainian leader flattering Trump, criticizing the U.S. ambassador and European leaders, and saying Ukraine's chief prosecutor is"my guy."
