How Zelensky is Losing His Halo, May Soon Outlive His Usefulness for West_我的网站
A | The Zelensky narrative used by western media "has palpably shifted" over the last few weeks, according to Steve Cortes, a US political consultant, market strategist and former Trump campaign adviser.,This shift particularly comes in relation to the latest CBS News report which alleged that "much of the billions of dollars of military aid that the US is sending to Ukraine doesn't make it to the front lines." Cortes also cites the New York Times' Thomas L. Friedman, who admitted earlier this month that "there is deep mistrust between the White House and President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine — considerably more than has been reported.",Concerns also appear to be simmering over Zelensky firing his prosecutor general and intelligence chief on July 18 without explanations. "I have still not seen any reporting that convincingly explains what that was all about," Friedman wrote. "It is as if we don’t want to look too closely under the hood in Kiev for fear of what corruption or antics we might see, when we have invested so much there.",Similarly, German newspaper Die Welt once again shed light on Zelensky's offshore network schemes on August 3, as exposed by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) in October 2021. It also revealed Kiev's apparent role in cancelling a Ukrainian documentary "Offshore 95 – President Zelensky's Secret Deals" last year.,The press reports were also preceded by GOP Representative Victoria Spartz's push for more oversight of US aid to Kiev amid suspicions of corruption within the Zelensky cabinet.,RussiaUS Analyst: Time Has Come for American Politicians to Hold Kiev Responsible for Endemic Corruption23 July, 13:03 GMT,Zelensky & Kolomoisky,Accusations of corruption are threatening to strip the Ukrainian president of his heroic "halo." On July 20, investigative journalist and managing editor of CovertAction Magazine, Jeremy Kuzmarov, provided details of Zelensky's longstanding ties to Ukrainian oligarch Igor Kolomoisky.,Kolomoisky has been under FBI investigation for financial crimes, including money laundering, for the past few years. The Ukrainian oligarch is also known for funding and supporting notorious neo-Nazi and ultra-nationalist battalions including Azov*, Aidar, Donbas, Dnepr 1, and Dnepr 2, in 2014. According to Kuzmarov, these military units "were sometimes deployed as personal thug squads to protect Kolomoisky’s financial interests.",In January 2022, the US Department of Justice filed a civil forfeiture complaint alleging that Kolomoisky and his associate Gennadiy Bogolyubov, who owned Ukraine's PrivatBank, embezzled and defrauded the financial institution for $5.5 billion.,Judging from the Pandora Papers, Zelensky and his partners in his Kvartal 95 television production company founded a network of offshore companies in 2012 just as they started to cooperate with Kolomoisky's TV stations.,Four days after the release of Kuzmarov's exposé this year, reports emerged indicating that Zelensky had stripped Kolomoisky of his Ukrainian citizenship alongside another two Ukrainian oligarchs.,"I am not sure what is behind the decision to strip Kolomoisky of citizenship but it could be an attempt to improve Zelensky's public image and try and distance himself from his former backer because of the corruption scandals and legal problems Kolomoisky is facing," says Kuzmarov. "We see a similar thing in US politics, for example, when Barack Obama distanced himself from Tony Rezko, a highly corrupt backer of his in the state of Illinois (when Obama was a state senator) who was jailed for corruption.",According to the investigative journalist, "at this stage, Zelensky may feel he does not need Kolomoisky's support anymore especially given that he is being provided billions of dollars of weapons and aid from the US and West.","[Kolomoisky] has only become a liability with the indictments he faces in the US," the journalist continues.,In addition, Zelensky fired his long-time associate State Security Service (SBU) head Ivan Bakanov, who is now subject of an investigation. In October 2021, Bakanov was mentioned in the Pandora Papers as Zelensky's partner in the offshore network.,"It could all be related, yes, that Zelensky is trying to distance himself from his former close associates who are being set up to take the fall for the corruption that Zelensky is implicated in too," says Kuzmarov. "Zelensky may feel that he has powerful protectors in the 'international community'.",WorldBigwigs, Bucks & Biolabs: US Establishment Has a Lot of Skeletons in Ukraine's Closet, Analyst Says13 May, 12:00 GMT,Corruption Outside Ukraine,Meanwhile, the story of Ukrainian corruption appears to be bigger than Zelensky's apparent financial machinations and links to the oligarchy, according to Wall Street analyst Charles Ortel.,"For a blinkered mainstream press, Kolomoisky readily can be sold as a convenient scapegoat considering his deeply suspicious and repugnant history. That said, who are the true puppeteers inside Ukraine? Are they governments, billionaire investors or both?" asks Ortel. "Considering the many ways in which state-owned assets and aid ostensibly for Ukraine have already been plundered, the period from 1991 forward and more recently from 2004 and then 2014 forward may well be used for decades to demonstrate that there is no honor among thieves, and great danger for populations when political corruption is encouraged.",The Wall Street analyst alleges that Ukraine provided a certain financial bonanza for US dynastical families, including the Clintons and the Bidens, well before Zelensky came to power. As such, Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk, who is also the son-in-law of former Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma, generously donated to the Clinton charity, prompting suspicions of a "pay-to-play" scheme.,Likewise, Republican lawmakers have long been looking into apparent influence peddling involving then-Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, who sat on the board of Ukrainian gas firm Burisma and was reportedly paid a staggering $83,333 per month. According to Miranda Devine's book "Laptop from Hell," Burisma slashed Hunter's salary in half two months after his father ceased to be vice president.,© AP Photo / Sarahbeth ManeyFILE - Members of Congress give Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky a standing ovation before he speaks in a virtual address to Congress in the U.S. Capitol Visitors Center Congressional Auditorium in Washington, on Wednesday, March 16, 2022FILE - Members of Congress give Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky a standing ovation before he speaks in a virtual address to Congress in the U.S. Capitol Visitors Center Congressional Auditorium in Washington, on Wednesday, March 16, 2022© AP Photo / Sarahbeth Maney,Zelensky Not Indispensable for West,"With so many worries distracting voters in key nations, and given his status for a time as one-part Greta Thunberg scold and a second part Tony Fauci hero, Zelensky may believe he has secured a permanent 'White Hat' role, and that he never will be called to account for massive corruption to which he and many others seem connected," explained Ortel.,However, Zelensky shouldn't delude himself into believing that he is "indispensible" in the eyes of the western political establishment, according to the analyst. As such, Thomas L. Friedman's notion that the Biden administration and the Ukrainian president are not on the same page should come as a potential warning for Kiev’s man.,For his part, National Review's Jim Geraghty suggests that the NYT leak that the White House does not trust the Ukrainian president could mean two things.,"Possibility one is that the Biden administration just wants the Ukraine-Russia war to end, and Zelensky isn’t playing ball, so the administration is getting ready to leave Zelensky hanging out to dry," Geraghty wrote on August 2. "Possibility two is that the administration foresees the Ukraine-Russia war going badly, and is preparing to use Zelensky as a scapegoat.",In any event, the Biden administration appears to be laying the groundwork to argue, "We did everything we could to help the Ukrainians defend themselves, but in the end, they were too incompetent, too corrupt, and too beset by infighting," according to Geraghty.,"It is difficult to predict when Zelensky will outlive his usefulness and get cast aside but that day is coming, whether in retaliation by a vindictive erstwhile ally or in military action or otherwise," Ortel concludes.,*Azov Battalion is a terrorist group banned in Russia.。 AI摘要 第11届“海峡诗会”在三明举行，70余位两岸暨港澳诗人采风交流。活动深化闽台及沪明文学合作，以诗歌搭建文化连心桥，共续同根同源文脉情缘。 6日至9日，第11届“海峡诗会”在三明举行，70余位来自海峡两岸暨港澳地区的诗人在新福建的万千风貌中酬唱论诗，共续同根同源的文脉情缘。 本届诗会以“为荷而来”为主题，与会诗人奔赴三明市建宁县、泰宁县开展实地采风，在绿水青山、客家烟火中汲取创作灵感。
B | 在建宁县濉溪镇圳头村聚晟源果园，被网友昵称为“烧烤诗人”的温雄珍弯腰捡起了一颗从枝头掉落的玉梨。她笑着说：“它落在地上被我看到了，我就应该把它捡起来，这个缘分非常好。” 温雄珍来自广西贵港。贵港别称“荷城”，与建宁一样，都以种植荷花闻名。“贵港刚刚遭遇洪水，那里的人仍然不屈不挠地追逐着心中的美好画卷，这正是人赋予荷花的精神寄托，也是荷花赋予人的精神气质。
C | 这次诗会，我听说了建宁县2008年奋战冰灾的故事，在采风中，我读到了同样由荷而来的精神内核。” 中国作家协会《诗刊》社主编李少君此行作诗5首。在《泰宁古城有感》一诗中，他挥笔写下诗句“耕读诗书存道统，焕新境界我心求”。在他看来，经过全面小康的建设，华夏山乡发生了巨变，大家真正感觉到桃花源式的梦想正在新时代实现，这其实也特别需要诗人做证。 “海峡诗会”自2002年创办以来，已成功举办11届，足迹遍布闽山闽水。三明是改革开放后福建最早形成的地方诗群——“三明诗群”的重要创作基地。时隔10年，“海峡诗会”重回故地，见证的是“三明诗群”的别开生面。 “三明诗群”第一代诗人之一、永安市文联原主席赖微介绍，“三明诗群”是1984年前后组群，延续至今已有40多年。近年来，它呈现出老中青三代衔接紧密、县域子网活跃、理论创作并行的特点，从“山地禅意”转向“山水+乡土+大众文艺”三位一体。 闽台情深。台湾《创世纪》诗杂志社社长古月表示，40多年前，“三明诗群”第一代核心诗人范方与《创世纪》诗杂志社洛夫一直有着深厚的友谊。范方的很多佳作都在《创世纪》诗杂志社发表，受到台湾诗友的热烈追捧。40多年来，杂志社成员与“三明诗群”的诗人仍保持着联系，不时以诗会友。
D | 本届“海峡诗会”，上海市作家协会作为主办单位之一，也派出了诗人参加。 1958年至20世纪70年代，为支援福建重工业基地及“小三线”建设，上海整体搬迁18家轻工企业至三明，逾万名上海职工及家属南下扎根。2022年5月，上海与三明建立对口合作关系。 上海市作协党组成员、专职副主席高渊介绍，近年来，随着沪明对口合作全面深化，两地文学交流进入了机制化、常态化的新阶段。上海市作协多次组织作家、诗人深入三明调研交流，设立了文学创作基地。他表示，未来沪明文学交流机制将更加常态化、长效化。 “海峡诗会”是由《台港文学选刊》杂志社发起创立、福建省文联及下属福建省作协和其他相关单位主办的系列品牌活动。多年来，诗会先后邀约了台湾著名诗人余光中、洛夫、痖弦、郑愁予、席慕蓉以及海内外数百位诗人来闽交流，在海内外华文文学界产生了广泛而深远的影响。
E | 本届诗会，既有陈先发、曹宇翔等8位鲁迅文学奖得主，也有张晓风、詹澈、白灵（庄祖煌）等台港澳诗人，70余位来自海峡两岸暨港澳地区的诗坛老中青三代中坚力量，搭建起走心交心的文化连心桥。 两岸一家亲，闽台亲上亲。在探讨诗歌创作之余，85岁高龄的张晓风还和《台港文学选刊》原主编杨际岚商讨出书事宜。她想把恩师指导如何写作、投稿的书在大陆出版。台湾诗人余佩珊则笑说，她最熟悉的福建诗人就是父亲余光中。诗会一结束，她就要赶回祖籍地永春县桃城镇洋上村看望父老乡亲。“无论走到哪里、时代怎么变化，乡愁始终是安放灵魂的那一抔故土。” 福建省文联副主席、省作协主席陈毅达说，“海峡诗会”以深呼吸式的探访，把准时代的脉搏，以灵魂的微吟致敬所有创造和平的先辈。这不仅是盛世的一场家宴，更是心灯的一次齐明。（本报记者 陈尹荔）。
