FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda US senators in Ukraine to monitor the country’s presidential election say that they are “watching closely” to see if Russia meddles in the voting process.
Sen. Ben Cardin, who is in Ukraine along with Sen. Rob Portman and several House lawmakers, said on Sunday that Ukraine has some steps to establish alternative polling stations in eastern Ukraine, where anti-Kiev protesters have taken over government buildings, The Hill reported.
“We are certainly aware that there are outside agitators that are affecting the safety in the eastern part of Ukraine. We are well aware of that,” he said. “They are doing everything they can to disrupt the election. That is not the will of the people of Ukraine.”
“And we are particularly concerned about the impact from Russia and we will obviously be watching very closely what happens,” Cardin said.
Rep. Michael Burgess and Rep. Steve Stockman are also in Ukraine to monitor the election. In addition, several US representatives will also be arriving in the country soon, including Sen. Kelly Ayotte and Peter Roskam.
Jen Psaki, US State Department spokeswoman, said this week that Washington has provided $11.4 million to support the election in Ukraine, paying for “a range of activities on the ground.”
Earlier this month, the US Agency for International Development (USAID), which was recently in the headlines for the covert creation of a text-based social network to stir political unrest in Cuba, also said it would support Ukraine’s pro-Western media outlets financially so that they can cover the presidential election.
Earlier in the week, US Vice President Joseph R. Biden promised more economic sanctions against Moscow if it interferes in the election.
However, Russian President Vladimir Putin pushed back against accusations by his US counterpart Barack Obama and his administration that the Kremlin is fomenting unrest in Ukraine and said Moscow will respect the result of the presidential election in Ukraine.
“We understand that the people of Ukraine want their country to emerge from this crisis. We will treat their choice with respect,” Putin said on Friday at the International Economic Forum in Saint Petersburg.
He also said that Ukraine was in a “civil war” following a “state coup” against former President Viktor Yanukovych “with support of the West, the United States” as he railed against US sanctions on his country and dismissed allegations that Russia is meddling in Ukraine.
“Who is he to judge? Who is he to judge, seriously?” Putin said, referring to Obama. “If he wants to judge people, why doesn’t he get a job in court somewhere?” he added, according to an interpreter.
