President Trump's urging of Ukraine's President to investigate political rivals coincided with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban pushing a disparaging view of the country to Trump, The Washington Post reports
Citing current and former US officials, the Post reported that Putin and Orban did not explicitly name Ukraine as a potential source of dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden or mentioned the country's potential role in the 2016 US presidential election. However, the two leaders characterized Ukraine as corrupt and reinforced Trump's views of the country.
Trump spoke repeatedly with both Putin and Orban this spring and summer following Zelensky's election in late April, according to the paper.Putin"did what he always does" in looking to undermine the US-Ukraine relationship during his early May phone call with Trump, a former US official familiar with details of the conversation told the Post, adding that Putin"has always said Ukraine is just a den of corruption.
