Comforting that the US is not the only country with unqualified persons in positions of authority.
Volodymyr Tsemakh
Government prosecutors in Kyiv say that the SBU (Ukraine Security Service) has captured Volodymyr Tsemakh (Volodymyr Cemakh) in the occupied town of Snizhne, eastern Ukraine. He is wanted for questioning in the downing of Malaysian flight MH17 on 17 July 2014 which killed all 298 aboard. Tsemakh was "air defense commander" in this area which includes the town of Torez where the Russian Buk stopped right before it shot down flight MH17. His daughter Maria confirmed his apparent capture on 27 June. It is unknown how the SBU transported Tsemakh through enemy lines to government territory. It is thought he was smuggled through the Mariinka checkpoint.

Ex-Minister of Defense of the so-called DPR (Donetsk People's Republic) Igor Girkin (Strelkov) confirmed that the Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir Tsemakh who had been captured by the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) in the town of Snizhne, was "the commander of the air defense" of the pro-Russia militants in July 2014. "Borisovich" (a nickname of Tsemakh) was the chief of air defense in Snizhne in July-August 2014. Before that, he was the crew commander of of ZU-23-2 anti-air systems in Semenovka, and he excelled at this position," — Girkin wrote on his VKontakte page. Daughter of Tsemakh previously said that her father was appointed as "the chief of air defense in October 2014".
Seems to be a consequence whenever TV personalities are voted into office.

KYIV -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has kicked a regional government official with a criminal record out of a meeting broadcast live on television. "Get out of here, rogue! Are you not hearing me correctly?" Zelenskiy told Yaroslav Hodunok, a Boryspil city council secretary and parliamentary candidate, who is heard arguing with the president. "In English -- exit," Zelenskiy added. The expulsion, which was filmed and later published online by the Ukrayinska Pravda news site, was met with applause from other officials and meeting attendees. Zelenskiy had attended the meeting in the Kyiv region on July 10 to discuss projects including the construction of a new hospital.
The spat with Hodunok began when Zelenskiy accused him of talking a lot but doing nothing for his city. Then, taking out his phone, the president read from what he said was Hodunok's rap sheet for robbery and violence. "Tell me whether it is true or not," Zelenskiy said, laying into Hodunok. "A secretary of Boryspil city council was previously convicted of...robbery, combined with causing serious bodily injuries." "Yaroslav Mikolayovych, is that you?" Zelenskiy asked, using Hodunok's first name and patronymic. Hodunok, who is a member of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko's Batkivshchyna (Fatherland) party and running for parliament in Boryspil, later told Ukrayinska Pravda that he would take Zelenskiy to court and that the 2002 case against him that the president quoted was bogus. "I don't like thugs," Zelenskiy said after Hodunok was led out of the hall by secret service agents.
Girkin confirms that militant captured by Ukrainian Security Service was commander of air defense during MH17 air disaster

Daughter Maria is no doubt lying about the time-frame to protect her father from culpability.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a telephone conversation for the first time since the election of the Ukrainian president. This was announced by the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, the federal agency TASS reports. They discussed the situation in the Donbas and the release of prisoners, including the 24 sailors captured near the Kerch Strait. Zelenskyy has not yet commented on the conversation with Putin.
It was previously reported that Putin was ready to discuss expansion of the Normandy format after the parliamentary elections in Ukraine, which will take place on July 21. Earlier, the TV channel belonging to the business partner of Viktor Medvedchuk, NewsOne and the Russian propaganda channel Russia24 planned to hold a teleconference called "We Need to Talk." Zelenskyy called the announced teleconference "cheap PR" and offered Putin to negotiate a situation on the Donbas in Minsk in presence of leaders from the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The Kremlin said they would consider Zelenskyy's proposal for a meeting with Putin in Minsk.
