Ukrainian Ambassador to the US criticizes oligarch Pinchuk's article in The Wall Street Journal
The Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States, Valeriy Chaly, criticized the oligarch Victor Pinchuk for his position in a The Wall Street Journal article.
The diplomat wrote on his Facebook page, that big businesses should focus on supporting Ukraine, rather than "helping the enemy."
"People ask me: what is your opinion on Victor Pinchuk’s article in the WSJ. I honestly do not see the need to respond. An attempt to take advantage of the situation and business as usual," Chaly said.
He added that he would like to hear the opinions of Ukrainian soldiers who areatn the front line, or at least from those who have been there, in the US media.
"What a shame we here, in the United States, are trying to counteract the Russian information attacks, while they are receiving help from Ukraine. No resources are enough. I hope, in 2017, our major businesses will finally invest in their own survival in Ukraine and support our partners, instead of helping the enemy," the ambassador wrote.
On December 29th The Wall Street Journal published Victor Pinchuk’s article "Ukraine Must Make Painful Compromises for Peace With Russia''. This article has already caused widespread criticism in Ukrainian society.
