Trukhin Was Promoted in the U.S. on the Topic of Returning the Body of an American Killed at the Front — Journalist

Trump in Ukraine publicized in the United States about the return of the body of a fallen American — journalist

Despite his possible role in the return of the deceased, the story was presented as a heroic act, writes ZN.

The American CNN channel published a piece in which it states that two Ukrainian deputies — the suspect in offering a bribe, People's Deputy Oleksandr Trukhin, and Oleksandr Kovalov — actively pursued the return of the body of Joshua Alan Jones, a U.S. citizen who died during fighting in eastern Ukraine, whose body was handed over during the last exchange of prisoners.

"Two deputies tirelessly tried to bring his body home," says the CNN journalist in the segment.

In the video, Alexander Trukhin is shown commenting on the return of the fallen, but unlike the people who receive the so‑called cargo 200, he is not wearing a protective suit. Although he should have been, if indeed he was involved in the handover of the body.

"I do not know specifically what Trukhin's involvement was in this story, perhaps his role personally was significant; in the eyes of the CNN journalist and Americans who saw this, Trukhin appears to be a real hero. In my view, this looks like an attempt to heroize the deputy Trukhin, who is being tried in Ukraine for bribery," notes journalist Olena Trybushna in her segment.

She suggests that perhaps a reputation‑saving campaign for the deputy, who is being tried for bribery, has begun.

"Good deeds love silence, otherwise it is political PR, though this time it is a truly tragic story," stresses Trybushna.

The journalist recalls that this is already the third attempt by the current government to heroize a person connected to the Office of the President, who bears a corruption history. One of them was the deputy head of the Office of the President, Oleh Tataryov, who escaped from NABU and tried to derail the competition for the head of the SAP, to whom finally attempts were attributed to defending Kyiv.

As a reminder, the body of the American volunteer, a U.S. Army veteran Joshua Alan Jones, who fought for Ukraine and died in battle with the occupiers, was able to be returned during an exchange of prisoners 26 in October.
