Great! Ukraine's Parliament has sacked the head of the State Investigative Bureau Roman Truba, who took order from Andriy Portnov, Yanukovych's chief lawyer. Truba pursued absurd treason cases against Poroshenko.
pravda.com.ua/rus/news/2019/…
Interestingly, only 224 of Zelenskyy's original 254 deputies voted for this change. it passed with 250 votes mainly because of 18 votes from Voice. Kolomoisky's ca 30 deputies now vote against Zelensky's on all anticorruption votes.
3 conclusions:
1. Zelenskyy sticks to his anticorruption agenda.
2. The conflict between Zelenskyy & Kolomoisky is now open & persistent.
3. Zelenskyy needs to shore up his majority in the Rada to 226 MPs through some coalition.

Sergei Fursa: Russian gas transit through Ukraine 65 bcm in 2020 & 40 bcm/year in 2021—2024. This looks like a real compromise. Gazprom wanted 2 years & Naftogaz 10 years.

Naftogaz's Vitrenko adds that the volumes can be increased.

Why is Pompeo going to Ukraine? Presumably to promote his campaign for the Kansas senator elections. Please keep Ukraine, a great partner out of these dirty partisan plays!
Note that Pompeo, the quiet culprit in the Trump-Giuliani racket, refuses to see upright acting ambassador Bill Taylor & wants to stay out of the US Embassy so that Russian intelligence services can report his words to Trump. Why would Ukraine invite a Russian spy?
If Pompeo goes to Ukraine as a Putin agent, the Ukrainian government had better refuse to receive him. It is the US Congress, representing the US people, that support Ukraine, not Trump & his lowlife servants.

I am used to work in countries where democracy comes & goes. I am amazed how many Americans who are completely unaware that their democracy & rule of law are in great danger. I would say lost. The US needs to restore democracy & rule of law.
3 men rule the US:
1. Trump does whatever he cares to do regardless of law.
2. @senatemajldr decides what comes up on the Congressional agenda. W/o McConnell, no law.
3. In the Supreme Court, Chief Justice John Roberts is the conservative swing vote.
= Robert Michels' oligarchy.
@senatemajldr All the rest - all of us, including the media - is just noise. We have no impact on how the United States is ruled.

In bombshell revelation, former Prosecutor General of #Ukraine suggests that member of #Ukrainian #Parliament ordered assassination by car bomb of Pavlo Sheremet. Sheremet was prominent #Belarusian émigré journalist & wrote for Ukrainska pravda in Ukraine. strana.ua/articles/inter…
Court decisions suggested that prosecution investigated involvement of neo-Nazi led Azov regiment members in his assassination. Failure to solve murder of prominet #journalist in #Ukraine indicates cover-up, and ex-Prosecutor General of Ukraine openly admits that.
Based on its track record of #Ukraine coverage, Western mainstream #media is unlikely to report this bombshell revelation by ex-Prosecutor General that #Ukrainian #Parliament member, possibly linked to neo-Nazi Azov, is involved in ordering assassination of prominent #journalist

Treason cases against former high level govt employees (including Clintons and Obamas) will go all the way up to the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh has already answered the question as to how he would vote.
