Another example of political manipulation and opportunism demonstrated Ukrainian politicians – this time in connection with the election of trump as the new President of the United States. They were first published, and then washed panicky or offensive remarks about the results of the American elections. The arrival of trump’s promises of Ukrainian nationalists no good.
Responses to the Ukraine to win Donald trump’s the level of emotion almost blocked Wednesday responses in the United States. If the first comments were confused or even panic, then closer to the evening on Wednesday the ruling circles started to come around and try to find a new line of conduct.
The President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko after lunch finally joined the chorus congratulating trump and expressed hope for further U.S. support to the reforms and “the restoration of the territorial integrity” of the country, and at the same time even invited the new us counterpart to Ukraine.
Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Andriy paruby also congratulated the people of the United States with the election of Donald trump for President and called his victory a new reality and new opportunities for the people of Ukraine. “The Republican party is the party that traditionally supports Ukraine and defines the cooperation with our state as one of priorities of foreign policy,” Parubiy was quoted by UNIAN.
Pointless to hope for “handouts” from the US
However, the effect of such optimistic statements have been greased in advance, even at night, when former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, by the way, a longtime friend of the opponent trump, Hillary Clinton, wrote in his Twitter: “”the world’s Major loser of the evening was Ukraine. Your only hope is the need really to take seriously the reforms and keep europadisc” (translation of the website Ukraina.ru).
Ukrainian economist Oleksandr Okhrimenko believes that the former antitrombina rhetoric of Kiev will have the most negative consequences. In particular, he can simply cover the new tranche. “Totally pointless the only hope for “handouts” from the US and the EU have destroyed the economy of Ukraine. Instead of addressing the revival of Ukraine’s economy and to create normal conditions for business, the Ukrainian government was, they wanted to please the ambassadors of the USA and the EU. And dobrovoles. As a result, Ukrainian government has no real support in the global financial market but has the new President of the United States, which the Ukrainian government poured “mud” and insulting. The intrigue,” wrote the economist on the website Korrespondent.net.
By the way, at the same time, the head of the National Bank of Ukraine Valery Gontareva admitted that the IMF this year will not give Ukraine the next tranche of $ 1.3 billion. However, it is not linked it directly with the election trump. According to Gontareva, the reason for this is the failure of the Verkhovna Rada of several laws, which provided a Memorandum on cooperation with the IMF. In addition, in the morning Ukrainian Eurobonds, as reported by the newspaper VIEW, fell sharply in price.
Director of the Ukrainian Institute of policy analysis and management Ruslan Bortnik also believes that the Ukrainian authorities will haunt recent attempts to “drown” the Donald trump. “Remember the scandal with Paul Manafort, when the administration of the President of Ukraine, National anti-corruption Bureau openly supported Clinton. In fact, this scandal forced to leave Manafort with the head of the electoral headquarters of the trump, and it will be a success for Ukraine. I’m sure trump will always think of this scandal and will surely punish those people who tried to drown him”, according to the RIA Ukraine.
However, in mid-September, Kiev was visited by the former speaker of the lower house of the U.S. Congress newt Gingrich, who recently played the role of one of the agitators trump. Speaking on the sidelines of the conference “Yalta European strategy”, Gingrich made it very pleasant for the audience of the statement, suggesting that trump not only will continue to support Kiev, but also removes Obama’s ban on the supply of lethal weapons Ukraine. Some observers, incidentally, is tipped Gingrich as Secretary of state in the government of trump.
The reason the “bitter drink”
But it seems now in the Kiev corridors of power don’t particularly believe it. The first Deputy Chairman of the faction “Block of Petro Poroshenko” of the Verkhovna Rada of Alexey Goncharenko said that Kiev hopes that the trump will begin the transfer of lethal weapons, but overall, in his opinion, with the election trump in the world of increasing uncertainty. “Few people can entirely predict what will be the course of trump in General and towards Ukraine in particular”, – the Deputy told the newspaper VIEW.
“As for the data, Gingrich promises about the supply of lethal weapons, then Mr. Trump will have to decide. If someone will supply to Ukraine lethal weapons, it will be regarded as an outright game against Russia. And USA still to be solved many other problems, in addition to Ukrainian,” – said the newspaper LOOK first Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on international Affairs Andrei Klimov, adding: if trump, as promised, will pursue normalization of relations with Russia, he will have to adjust the position of the States and in Ukraine.
However, according to Klimov, Moscow is not necessary to amuse itself illusions that trump is “Pro-Russian politician”. “He’s a legend, invented by the election headquarters of Hillary Clinton. Trump is not Pro-Russian, he is an American politician configured that Russia should be considered. But to negotiate it would be in America’s interest”, – said the Senator.
However, says Klimov, Ukrainian authorities still time “to drink bitter”, and in Kiev, in his opinion, panic reigns stronger than in Washington. “I don’t think he will remember some statements of Ukrainian politicians or the incident with Paul Manafort. Trump is a pragmatic man, but as before, Ukraine will not be”, – concluded the Senator.
The election trump, for the benefit of Ukraine?
Director of the Kiev Center of political researches and conflictology Mikhail Pogrebinsky believes that while it is impossible to guess what people will be in charge of Ukrainian politics in command of the trump. “Besides, we don’t know how trump with his antiinterventionist rhetoric is willing to distance himself from the foreign policy”, – said the expert newspaper VIEW.
He Pogrebinsky inclined to dismiss as versions about the imminent fall of the Ukrainian regime and, on the contrary, the possibility of supplying lethal weapons Ukraine. In his opinion, Washington on the Ukrainian issue will be considered with the interests of Moscow, so the course will become more balanced. Pogrebinsky believes that such changes will benefit Ukraine, as earlier power-oriented negotiations with Russia, not to war, had no support.
“Since the current Ukrainian government is completely dependent on America, and more strong positions in the Ukrainian establishment has held opponents to any agreement with Russia – Yatsenyuk, who, despite his resignation as Prime Minister, maintains leverage, Avakov and others. They not only radical nationalists as simply materialistic people, focused on the United States. Without the support from there, they will weaken, and therefore, Poroshenko will have one more incentive to become a dove of peace”, – the expert believes.
In his opinion, behind Poroshenko, the elite will adapt to the new American owners. “No wonder they have already started to remove my own post about trump. So, finally to come to peace,” Pogrebinsky hopes.
We will remind, right after winning trump’s interior Minister Arsen Avakov has deleted your post in Facebook from July 31, which called trump a “dangerous shameless outcast”. And, for example, the leader of the faction of the Radical party in the Verkhovna Rada Oleg Lyashko first called on the page win trump a “catastrophe,” according to the website “Your news”. But quickly edited the tape, which now looks like this: “I Hope that all the overtures of the presidential candidate trump Putin’s side – it was nothing more than campaign rhetoric. President trump will be obliged to carry out only the policy that meets the national interests of the United States. One of these vital long-term interests of the United States is a strong and independent Ukraine”.
Previously, many Ukrainian politicians spoke about trump is extremely offensive. For example, the permanent representative of Ukraine to the UN Yuriy Sergeyev called trump “a clown running amok”.
But on this background, benefits were noted ex-President of Georgia, he is the former Governor of the Odessa region Mikhail Saakashvili, who said that the sign with trump for more than 20 years. “We are friends,” – wrote Saakashvili in Facebook, adding that the long-predicted victory trump. “A strong personality with an unpredictable policy. We must be careful and organized, more than ever,” said the Georgian-Ukrainian politician.
