ambassador taylor wrote to us as follows. just had a meeting with andre and videm. referring to the ukraine foreign minister. taylor said the ukrainians were, quote, very concerned about what lutsenko told them, that according to r.g., meaning rudy giuliani, the zelensky/potus meeting will not happen. volker responded good grief, please tell the dean to let the official u.s. government representatives speak for the u.s. lutsenko has his own self-interest here. taylor confirmed that he had communicated that message to the ukrainians and he added i briefed the state department counselor. again, everyone is in the loop. three things are critical about this whatsapp exchange.
