Deprived of Ukrainian citizenship, People's Deputy Andrei Artemenko said that the meeting of the Ukrainian delegation with US President Donald Trump was conducted solely on the initiative of American lobbyists and is not a merit of Ukrainian diplomats.

The corresponding entry was posted on his Facebook page.

The politician said that he is a direct "witness of events".

"The meeting of the Ukrainian delegation not only with President Trump, but even with Vice President Pence, was not even planned yesterday. All assurances that this meeting became possible due to the professional work of Ukrainian diplomats lie number of times. The Ukrainian side learned about the possibility of holding the meeting exclusively from the unexpected call of its lobbyists and at the initiative of the White House and because of the internal political situation with the aim of compensating the meeting between President Trump and Minister Lavrov and Ambassador Kislyak, "he wrote.

According to him, both meetings in the White House with the Ukrainian delegation took place on the evening of May 11 and lasted only 6 minutes.

"It took so long to take a protocol shoot with President Trump and Vice President Pence of Minister Klimkin and Ambassador Chaly," he explained..

Artemenko also argues that the meeting with Trump the Ukrainian side paid "a famous American lobbying firm" 400 thousand US dollars.

"Information for 6 months in accordance with the requirements of US law should be published on official resources of the US Department of Justice on the financial reporting of foreign agents of this lobbying company," he added..

As reported by the "Observer", on May 11, Pavel Klimkin met with President Donald Trump and Vice President Michael Pence. The meetings were also attended by the Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States Valery Chaly. The embassy said that the parties discussed in detail the development of the situation in the Donbass.
