In the Western mass media, various opinions are beginning to be heard regarding the real attitude of the partners towards the Ukrainian leadership.
>Viktoria Spartz regarding the activities of the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak, questions arise regarding the trust of American government officials in the current Ukrainian government. During a briefing, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby commented on these rumors.
In response to journalists' questions about Thomas Friedman's article that recently appeared in The New York Times, Kirby said that the White House “admires the leadership and courage of President Volodymyr Zelenskyi in this time of war”.
According to the press secretary of the Pentagon, since the beginning of Russia's full-scale military invasion of Ukraine, Joe Biden has repeatedly communicated with the president of Ukraine. The American leader understands that Zelenskyi and the entire Ukrainian people are under constant stress and tension, which is why the United States continues to support the country in the fight against the invaders.
“He privately and publicly expressed respect for President Zelenskyi and the challenges that he and his fellow citizens collide,” John Kirby emphasized.
Instead, in the article “Why Pelosi's visit to Taiwan is completely reckless”, which, at first glance, should not refer to the Ukrainian issue, Thomas Friedman notes that the US should not “look away” from the current main goal – to help Ukraine stop Russian military aggression . However, according to the author of the article, American officials are much more concerned about the leadership of Ukraine than they show.
“There is deep distrust between the White House and President Volodymyr Zelenskyi,” writes Thomas Friedman.
While various opinions are heard in the public space, Viktoria Spratz called on the President of Ukraine to answer before the US Congressregarding the current head of Yermak's Office.
