Ukraine gave an unprofessional reaction to the letter of US congresswoman Spartz, diplomat Lubkivskyi
He expressed this opinion on Espresso.
Danylo Lubkivskyi commented and gave an assessment of the Representative of Ukraine on the letter from a member of Congress to the President of the United States, which formulates questions that concern the interests of both American voters and Ukrainian citizens, that is, questions that have political and social significance.
“It is obvious that the resolution of such issues has a political character, due to the fact that Victoria Spartz represents the Republican Party and is growing the new political star of this camp. In response to the appeal Spartz came the answer of the authoritative member of the Congress, Marcy Kaptur, who is the co-chair of the group of relations with Ukraine within the framework of the US Congress and a representative of the Democratic Party. Such a dialogue between representatives of the American parliament works on the political process, aimed at ensuring proper support for Ukraine and that both political forces are preparing for the next mid-term elections in the US Congress this fall,” the diplomat explained.
Lubkivskyi said that this is one of those meetings when he is disappointed with the reaction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to the questions raised in Victoria’s letter Spartz to the President of the United States.
“In my opinion, the decision to involve the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine in this state was very wrong, because it is not a matter of competence of our ministry. And it was the wrongness of this decision, to involve the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in such a conversation, that led to an unprofessional reaction. This reaction, which reduced to the worst “. of Soviet traditions and accusations at the level of individuals”, – noted Danylo Lubkivskyi.
The diplomat added that such an unprofessional reaction did not add any benefit, neither to us as a society, nor to our dialogue with American partners.
“It is obvious that the questions raised are of great interest to Ukraine, they are constantly repeated and attract attention, because they are considered unanswerable. Spartzand there is a way to prevent the American political community from starting a struggle to play the Ukrainian card as a political tool,” Lubkivskyi noted.
Danylo Lubkivskyi expressed the hope that the Ukrainian authorities will find the intellectual and political potential to answer such questions. It is most important to take steps that prove that Ukraine is able to fulfill its obligations to European partners and American allies.
