B the blocking of aid to Ukraine in the US Congress is mostly supported by the concrete heads around Donald Trump. And the media recall that Trump himself has an old score to settle with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskywrites the German daily “Frankfurter Rundschau”.
“Trump hates Ukraine”
This suspicion was recently voiced by a former close associate of the former US president. “Trump hates Ukraine,” Lev Parnas, an American businessman born in Odessa, told Politico magazine. Parnas once acted in Ukraine as an intermediary for Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani, and later distanced himself from the former president and his lawyer.

As the Associated Press agency writes, as a Giuliani associate at the time, he worked to “dig up political dirt on Joe Biden.” Now Parnas believes that, according to Trump, “and the people around him, Ukraine is the cause of all the problems.” Because it was through Ukraine, and Biden’s son Hunter’s work there, that Trump’s team hoped to hurt his opponent.
Parnas told the relevant congressional committee that he had not found any evidence of corruption by the Biden family abroad. Ukraine has never had evidence that Biden or his son violated the country’s lawsformer Ukrainian chief prosecutor Yuri Lutsenko said in an interview in 2019, quoted by Politico.
“Trump and Giuliani lied to the American people”
The media reports that at the bottom of everything is one telephone conversation between Trump and Zelenskand. It was this conversation one of the catalysts of the first impeachment attempt against then-President Trump.

Republicans have also begun impeachment proceedings against Biden. Before the congressional committee dealing with it, Parnas admitted that he helped Giuliani spread the false allegations against Hunter Biden in the conservative media.
“The American people have been lied to by Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani and various cohorts of people in government and media positionsParnassus stated. “They created lies to serve their own interests, knowing it would undermine the strength of our nation.”
“If Trump wins, things will go bad”
Trump’s team claimed that Joe Biden, as vice president of the United States, pushed for the firing of a Ukrainian prosecutor in order to support his son Hunter’s work on the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
There was also a video that supported these claims, but Zelensky took no action despite Trump’s insistence. And with that, he probably turns the former president against himself forever. Later, the conversation between Trump and Zelensky became public – he is understood to be part of the wiretapping that exposed former Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort.
That’s how it’s formed the legitimate suspicion that Trump was urging Ukraine to intervene in the US election campaign.

Politico quoted Parnas as saying: “Today, Trump hates Zelensky with all his heart. And Zelensky knows it.”

Politico’s extensive article on the subject begins with another telling sentence: “Trump doesn’t forget or forgive that easily.” And Parnas sums up: “If Trump loses, Ukraine will get all the money and weapons it needs. Russia will be finished. But if Trump wins, things will go bado.”
