He is not only concerned that Washington could weaken the support of the country in the fight against Russia, but also trying to rehabilitate himself in the eyes of trump after his government did not hide that he supports Hillary Clinton in the us presidential election”.
“There’s evidence the journalist reported that Ukrainian officials have helped the Democratic party to disclose unconfirmed illicit relationship between trump and Moscow.
