No evidence Ukraine president helped Hillary Clinton, as GOP senator claimed

Kennedy said that former Ukraine President Poroshenko actively worked on behalf of Clinton. The publications he cited don’t back that up, nor does any of the other available evidence.

Poroshenko, and many other Ukrainian leaders, opposed Trump’s policies on Russia and its annexation of Crimea, and preferred Clinton’s tougher stance toward their giant neighbor to the east. They were openly critical of Trump.

No article cast Poroshenko as a key player in those responses, nor do three of the news organizations he cited see those responses as election meddling.

We rate this claim False.
