He did not take one step when he worked in Ukraine, where he did not consult with the American ambassador. He is an expert on electoral technology - back then I was leading an election campaign.

He is an expert on electoral technology - back then I was leading an election campaign. We had serious differences though - he suggested putting in writing that Ukraine aspires to be a member of NATO. I told him: "Listen, Paul, do not say such nonsense.
