An analysis of FARA filings shows they contacted members of Congress and others over 10,000 times. -------------

AS TENSIONS WITH Russia reach a boiling point, lobbyists from Ukraine are working feverishly to shape the U.S. response. Firms working for Ukrainian interests have inundated congressional offices, think tanks, and journalists with more than 10,000 messages and meetings in 2021, according to an analysis of Foreign Agents Registration Act, or FARA, filings for a forthcoming report from the Quincy Institute. To put this extraordinary campaign into perspective, the Saudi lobby — known for being one of the largest foreign lobbies in D.C. — reported 2,834 contacts, barely a quarter of what Ukraine’s agents have done.

Congress has been the primary target of Ukraine’s agents, with over 300 House and Senate staff and members of Congress on the receiving end of more than 8,000 emails, phone calls, and meetings with Ukraine’s lobbyists. Agents representing the Ukrainian Federation of Employers of the Oil and Gas Industry, or UFEOGI, the largest association of energy companies in Ukraine, have flooded Capitol Hill with headlines like “Ukrainians call on U.S. Senate to sanction Putin’s pipeline weapon,” and others claiming “Moscow regards concessions as a sign of weakness.”

A month old.

Ukraine has a huge number of official and unofficial lobbyists here in the US. They dwarf Saudi Arabia, and everyone else.

They haven't stopped. And the Ukrainian culture, like Russia and many others over there, accepts and uses bribery and corruption.

How many US journalists have taken money under the table for favorable press?

Explains a lot.

I can’t help but think that anything George Soros wants has to be bad for us.

I have been saying this for a couple months.
Ignore what the Uniparty-MSM tells you.
There is far more here going on than you can imagine and it involves both parties.

Succinct, and makes sense.

From the link:

“French journalist after visiting Ukraine:
“I was surprised that in order to join the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, this must be done through the Americans. We almost got arrested. An American came up and said: “here I am in command, not the Ukrainians.” He introduced himself. He is a veteran of the Iraq War. A report about it will appear in Figaro Magazine this week. He behaved rudely, at first he wanted to kick us out. Ordered to get sim cards from phones. We had to sign a contract before the end of the war. In general, the Americans rule there. Of course, unofficially.
… I thought that we would be with the international brigades, but it turned out that with the Pentagon.”
