How do former CIA employees earn money?

This year Washington hosted a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. Let us note that the Ukrainian leader became one of the first whom the head of the White House accepted. Given the superficial attitude of Donald Trump to Ukrainian problems, it becomes clear that this meeting was interesting and important only to one side – the president of Ukraine.

Peter Poroshenko within the framework of this meeting pursued two very clear goals. First, to show the new president of the United States does not give a damn about Ukraine. Secondly, to solve with the help of the United States problems with gas supplies. The first task was completed in half. The world saw no signs that Washington as something special applies to Kiev. However, in Ukraine the media was shouting about how much Donald Trump wanted to get to know the Ukrainian president. Moreover, especially desperate Ukrainian journalists hinted that it was Donald Trump who initiated the meeting. As for the energy issue, both sides are most interested in the process of squeezing Russian gas from the European market. The recent sanctions on the part of Washington against Russia are clear evidence of this. At the same time, Ukraine, perhaps, will receive US gas at a low price, but other countries in Europe are unlikely.

However, let’s return to the meeting between Trump and Poroshenko. Who was its true initiator, and who was the executor. About the meeting with Trump, as was said above, Peter Poroshenko of course dreamed. But let’s find out who helped him organize it. A former CIA official, Mr. Walker, born in 1962, worked as an official US representative to NATO in the 1990s. Mr. Walker also served as an advisor on international affairs for the US National Security Council, and later as US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia. However, in 2011 Mr. Walker left the civil service and became an international affairs adviser in the American company BGR Group, which promotes political parties and politicians around the world. It was in the BGR Group that Petro Poroshenko turned to promote his interests in Washington. In early 2017, Mr. Walker, commissioned by the presidential administration of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, organized a meeting between the Ukrainian leader and the owner of the White House. A month before the meeting of the two presidents, Mr. Walker received 200 thousand dollars as an advance from the Ukrainian side. The rest of the fee was transferred to Mr. Walker by the staff of the US Embassy in Kiev after the meeting between Poroshenko and Trump in June 2017.
