Against the backdrop of a wide discussion of the statements of US Congresswoman Victoria Spartz about the activities of the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak, the question arises as to the confidence of US officials in the current Ukrainian government.. During a briefing by the speaker of the US State Department, John Kirby commented on these rumors.

Asked by a reporter about a recent New York Times article by Thomas Friedman, Kirby said the White House "

Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale military invasion of Ukraine, Joe Biden has repeatedly communicated with the President of Ukraine, according to the speaker of the US State Department.. The American leader understands that Zelensky and the entire Ukrainian people are in constant stress and tension, so the United States continues to support the country in the fight against Russian aggression.

“He privately and publicly expressed his respect for President Zelensky and the challenges he and his fellow citizens face,” said John Kirby..

At the same time, in the article “Why Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan is absolutely reckless”, which at first glance should not concern the Ukrainian issue, Thomas Friedman notes that the United States should not “look away” from the current main goal – helping Ukraine stop Russian military aggression.. However, according to the author of the article, American officials are much more concerned about the leadership of Ukraine than they let on..

“Deep distrust exists between the White House and President Volodymyr Zelensky,” writes Thomas Friedman.

While different opinions are heard in the public space, Victoria Spratz called on the President of Ukraine to answer to the US Congress regarding the current head of Yermak's Office.
