Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent explained why there has been no conversation between U.S. leader Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The representative of the State Department reported about it in an interview with Voice of America.
Kent noted that the call the Ukrainian side expects so much, given its symbolism, must be backed up by action.
"These are issues that are on the agenda of the United States and Ukraine. We want Ukraine to succeed. This means that we want the government and President Zelensky to succeed. But for this success, there must be right actions and right reforms," he added.
The journalist stressed that the call between the two presidents is a hot political topic. However, when asked whether the conversation between Zelensky and former U.S. President Donald Trump affected the current situation, Kent said that "he would not link" the two things.
According to the representative of the State Department, the conversation between the leaders of the two countries may take place in the near future.
During the two months of his presidency, Biden had telephone conversations with many world leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin.
However, there has been no conversation between Biden and Volodymyr Zelensky so far.
Heh, heh. US leader Joe Biden. Even Ukraine can’t bring itself to call him President.
“...there must be right actions and right reforms,....”
the proper action and reform would be to re-instate the criminal investigation of Joe and his son for a variety of high crimes. The cases were dropped when Biden became president for fear that they would lose all aid.
George Kent, lol. That guy’s still around?
Ukraine : Do not set foot inside our country, we have a standing warrant for your arrest.
“That’s Hunter’s job”.
The call will happen only after Russian army units are rolling toward Kyiv. “Sorry we couldn’t do more for ya, Voldy”.
More likely, "You need protection and Hunter needs nose candy...let's make a deal."
