“I think that Ukrainians themselves should investigate this. There is probably a reason for this, Ukrainians themselves must investigate it, since this is first of all our business, it is important first of all for us to never interfere in the elections of any country in the future, ”Zelensky said, answering a journalist’s question whether he believes that Ukrainians illegally interfered in the US elections in 2016.
Earlier, the former Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko said that the director of NABU Artyom Sytnik interfered in the US presidential election to help Hillary Clinton, who was running for the post of head of the United States.
As NYT wrote in late September, US President Donald Trump tried to find data that would indicate that the Ukrainian side was involved in “interference” in the election.
Then the newspaper noted that Trump’s lawyer Rudolf Giuliani visited Ukraine to obtain such information, the head of state himself believed that representatives of Ukraine, associated with the US Democratic Party, helped distribute incriminating materials about the former head of the Trump election headquarters, Paul Manaforte.
