Four people from the entourage of US President Donald Trump held secret talks in Kiev with some of the main political opponents of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Politico reports, citing three Ukrainian MPs and an American foreign policy expert.
According to the publication's sources, senior Trump associates held talks with opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko and senior members of Petro Poroshenko's party to discuss whether Ukraine can quickly hold presidential elections, which have been postponed due to martial law still in effect in Ukraine.
Politico reminds us that the official position of the US administration is that Trump does not interfere in the internal politics of Ukraine. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick denied his boss was “weighing into Ukrainian politics,” adding all that Trump wants is a partner for peace.
But the behavior of Trump and his officials suggests quite the opposite. Trump has accused Zelenskyy of being a “dictator without elections,” while Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has falsely accused Kyiv of canceling the election.
The publication writes that "the key to all the plans being discussed through unofficial channels is holding presidential elections in Ukraine after an agreement on a temporary ceasefire is reached, but before full-scale peace talks begin."
The newspaper notes that Trump aides are confident that Zelenskyy will lose all votes due to conflict fatigue and public frustration over corruption. His poll ratings have been declining for years, "though they have risen since last week's Oval Office scandal."
But while the Trump camp may hope an election will sink Zelenskyy, he is still massively more popular than Tymoshenko and Poroshenko.
In a poll conducted by British pollster Survation this week after the blow-up at the White House, 44 percent said they would back Zelenskyy for the presidency.
His nearest rival, trailing him by more than 20 percentage points, is Valery Zaluzhny, a former army commander who is now Ukraine’s ambassador to Britain. Only 10 percent backed Poroshenko, who is known as the Chocolate King due to his confectionary empire. Tymoshenko garnered just 5.7 percent support.
The key to all of the plans under discussion via back channels is to hold presidential elections after a temporary ceasefire is agreed, but before full-scale peace negotiations get underway in earnest. The idea of an early presidential election is also being pushed by the Kremlin, which has wanted to be rid of Zelenskyy for years.
Both Tymoshenko and Poroshenko have publicly opposed holding elections before the fighting ends, as has Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko. Nonetheless, “Poroshenko’s people and Yulia, they’re all talking to Trump World, positioning themselves as people who would be easier to work with. And people who would consent to many of the things that Zelenskyy is not agreeing to,” a top Republican foreign policy expert told Politico, asking that his name be withheld so he could speak freely.
