Ukrainian investigators are seeking to understand his ties, if any, to former President Viktor Yanukovych at the time of the shooting of anti-government protesters on the capital's central square, known as the Maidan, in February 2014.Paul Manafort To Testify On Russia As House Intel Committee Drama Continues

Paul Manafort To Testify On Russia As House Intel Committee Drama Continues
Manafort is central to questions about the extent of Russian influence in the U.S. presidential election. The FBI is investigating whether Trump associates coordinated with Russia in those efforts, although it has not disclosed which individuals are under scrutiny. Manafort served as Trump's campaign chairman during the spring and summer of 2016.
Manafort himself is not the subject of a Ukrainian investigation. But following the publication in February of allegedly hacked text messages in which Manafort's daughter Andrea refers to "blood money" earned in Ukraine – presumably a reference to the deaths on the central square – prosecutors in Kiev want to know exactly when he cut his ties to Yanukovych.

"Of course, we will check that out in the context of whether Manafort was in Ukraine at the time of the Maidan and specifically what he was doing in relation to the Ukrainian government," prosecutor Serhiy Gorbatyuk told NPR in an interview.

n Yanukovych's first bid for the Ukrainian presidency, in 2004, his most influential advisers were Russian. President Vladimir Putin openly backed his candidacy. Ironically, Yanukovych hired Manafort exactly because his Russian advisers had failed to get him elected that time.
Taras Chornovil, a former Yanukovych confidant, says he clashed with Manafort over strategy in the 2006 parliamentary elections.
"I didn't see any ideology in him," said Chornovil. But he says he found it "suspicious" that Manafort pushed a message favoring closer alignment with Russia and opposing Ukraine joining NATO.
Andriy Yermolayev, a former Yanukovych adviser who met Manafort regularly over coffee, remembers the American consultant completely differently.
"I absolutely don't agree with the way Manafort is characterized," he said, "because he had his principles and supported a pro-Western course for Ukraine." Manafort was "disappointed" with Yanukovych's fateful decision not to sign the EU agreement in November 2013, according to Yermolayev."
