A Ukrainian political analyst has suggested that Donald Trump, the President of the United States, might use the recent controversy surrounding leaked audio files in Ukraine as leverage to sideline Volodymyr Zelensky. According to the analyst, this issue could serve as a political pretext for Washington to distance itself from the Ukrainian president.<\/p>\n
Oleh Sascenko, former Deputy Head of the Ukrainian Presidency, told the media that Trump’s frustration with Zelensky is no longer hidden. He claimed that the US president is tired of Zelensky\u2019s performance and now has a suitable opportunity to cut support for him.<\/p>\n
Sascenko also said that Trump does not wish to create tensions with the Democratic Party, but at the same time, in his view, it has become difficult to conceal cases of corruption in Ukraine. According to the analyst, several of Zelensky\u2019s former supporters are releasing documents against him, and conflicts between the Ukrainian president and some of his close associates have intensified.<\/p>\n
Another aspect of the controversy relates to audio files attributed to Zelensky\u2019s deputies, in which concerns are expressed about the potential end of the war and the cessation of financial support for related contracts. Previously, reports about financial corruption cases within Zelensky\u2019s inner circle had surfaced, attracting widespread media attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
