Very sad that a country which is trying so hard to establish itself as a fledgling Democracy was actually being thwarted, intimidated and held hostage by the highest office of the USA. Trump and his cronies are fucked...and rightly so!
And here is another part of this shamelful story...

Giuliani’s conspiracy theories cost this anti-corruption lawmaker in Ukraine his job
In 2016, Leshchenko was part of a group of young politicians pushing for democratic reforms in Ukraine. In his former life as a journalist, he had developed a reputation for hard-hitting reporting that exposed high-profile corruption cases.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s team realized it had a potential problem in U.S. relations on May 10, when Rudolph W. Giuliani told Fox News that a Ukrainian advisor to the newly elected leader was a Trump enemy.
“I’m convinced that [Zelensky] is surrounded by people who are enemies of the president, and one person in particular, who is clearly corrupt and involved in this scheme,” Giuliani said.
The former New York mayor, now serving as President Trump’s private attorney, was talking about Sergei Leshchenko, a young member of parliament and former investigative journalist who was in line for a top position in the Ukrainian president’s new administration.
The next day, Leshchenko was dismissed from consideration for Zelensky’s team.
