🇺🇸Trump nominates Tulsi Gabbard, who has sharply criticized Zelensky and called for dialogue with Russia, for the post of US Director of National Intelligence.

Gabbard's nomination was announced in a statement released by Trump's transition team.

“For more than two decades, Tulsi has fought for our country and the freedoms of all Americans. As a former Democratic presidential candidate, she has broad bipartisan support — and is now a proud Republican! I know Tulsi will bring the fearless spirit that defined her illustrious career to our Intelligence Community, standing up for our constitutional rights and ensuring peace through strength. Tulsi will make us all proud!” Trump said in a statement.

Gabbard is an Iraq War veteran and former Democratic congresswoman who left the party in 2022 over disagreements on key issues, including support for Ukraine.

Even before the start of the full-scale war, she sharply criticized the Ukrainian government, declaring the "Zelensky dictatorship" and calling for the restoration of relations with Russia. She continued roughly the same line after the start of the invasion.

Thus, she claimed that Biden and the United States “provoked” Russia to attack Ukraine.

In July 2022, she was included by Ukraine in the list of American politicians, scientists and activists who promoted “Russian propaganda.”

Gabbard's nomination to such an important post is another very alarming signal from Washington for the Ukrainian government, which may indicate preparations for a radical change in US policy towards Ukraine under President Trump.
