The Andrii Telizhenko Interview | Weight of the State

Andrii Telizhenko is the most important firsthand witness to the Ukraine story. A former Ukrainian diplomat, he served at Ukraine's embassy in Washington, D.C., where he witnessed Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election, as well as events that later shaped the Hunter Biden investigation, President Trump's first impeachment, and the effort to dismiss those issues as "Russian disinformation." In this exclusive Counterlawfare Institute interview, recorded at an undisclosed location, Andrii Telizhenko tells his story in full. He discusses his role within Ukraine's diplomatic establishment, his interactions with senior American and Ukrainian officials, and the personal consequences of being sanctioned by both the United States and Ukraine without ever being charged with a crime. Whatever your views, this is firsthand testimony from a central figure in one of the most consequential political sagas in modern American history, presented in his own words.
