March 11, 2025 (EIRNS)—For three-and-a-half days, March 6 to midday March 9, Vadym Karpiak, one of the Zelenskyy regime’s top journalists, posted to his Facebook page the statement, “And where is Lee Harvey Oswald when the country needs him so badly? And not only one.”
By March 9, this open call for the assassination of U.S. President Donald Trump had caught the attention of pro-Trump networks in the U.S. Karpiak—or someone higher-up—was likely advised that expressing such sentiments in writing could cause trouble for Zelenskyy and Co.
And well it should: Then-President Volodymyr Zelenskyy awarded to Karpiak Ukraine’s Order of Merit, III Degree, in June 2022, for his journalistic support for the regime and its war. He was a leading TV host on the “United News Telemarathon,” set up by the Zelenskyy regime in 2022 to complete its control over news reporting in the country. They unified the big TV channels still allowed to broadcast in the country—the silencing of dissident voices in Ukraine long preceded the beginning of the war—into one news network, broadcasting 24/7. Karpiak was given such “plums” as doing the big Dec. 31, 2022 interview of Zelenskyy’s wife, Olena, on United News.
