Kiev: In her testimony in the case of the impeachment of
Donald Trump, the former senior director for Europe and Eurasia of the US
National Security Council, Fiona Hill, spoke about Russia's attempt to resolve
the “Ukrainian issue” with the US at the expense of Venezuela.
Fiona Hill recalls that the events associated with the
formation of a shadowy American policy towards Ukraine began at the same time
as riots continued in Venezuela.
“And at that particular moment, the Russians gave a very
noticeable signal, they want some kind of strange agreement on the“ exchange
”of Venezuela for Ukraine. In other words, if we wanted to ... keep Russia away
from our yard (she had already sent several special officers to protect the
Venezuelan government and prevent US military intervention), then at the same
time (Russia - ed.) They had their own version of events: ... they say, you
(USA - ed.) yourself in our yard (in Ukraine - ed.), ”Hill said.
She added that the US National Security Council instructed
her to convey to Russia that such agreements were unacceptable.
Fiona Hill testified before Congress as part of an
investigation into the impeachment of Donald Trump on October 14th. A
transcript of her interrogation was made publicly available on November 8.
Recall, October 31, the U.S. House of Representatives voted
in favor of a resolution that puts the investigation into Trump’s impeachment
on a public plane.
