The return (“capture”) of Shepelev – How, and who suffers?

Yulia Tymoshenko has been in the USA this week no doubt lobbying her cause and telling tales (true, half-true and untrue in equal measure) regarding President Poroshenko – as if US Embassy Kyiv’s communiques since summer 2017 will have been anything less than inspiring for readers inside The Beltway relating to both the Ukrainian president and, to be blunt, Ms Tymoshenko (among others).

Nevertheless there can be little doubt The Bankova will have concerns regarding just which Tymoshenko tales gain traction with those she meets on The Hill.
