She filed her $50,000-per-month contract with the Justice Department on Friday, complying with the Foreign Agents Registration Act. As part of her role, Conway will work to communicate with U.S. lawmakers, experts, and influential figures about the significance of Ukraine in maintaining a rules-based international order and upholding democratic values. Additionally, she aims to raise awareness regarding Ukrainians&#8217; struggle for freedom and Russia&#8217;s unlawful aggression against them. The contract commenced on July 25 and is set to conclude one week after November&#8217;s elections. Conway is also tasked with encouraging participation in the annual Yalta European Strategy meeting scheduled in Kyiv from September 13-14.<\/p>\n<p>Conway did not respond immediately to inquiries from the Washington Examiner; however, her contract prohibits her from making comments without prior approval from the foundation. Pinchuk has strong connections to former President Donald Trump; he donated $150,000 to Trump&#8217;s foundation in 2015 before Trump appeared in a promotional video for that year&#8217;s Yalta European Strategy meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Conway previously served as an aide during Trump&#8217;s campaign and presidency but denied recent claims suggesting she was behind negative reports about Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), who is considered a potential vice presidential nominee for Trump despite facing backlash over past remarks regarding Democrats. During discussions about Trump&#8217;s running mate selection process, Conway had supported other candidates like Governor Doug Burgum (R-ND) and Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), who holds more pro-Ukraine views than Vance does.<\/p>\n<p>In response to concerns surrounding Vance\u2019s vetting process, Conway stated that inquiries were directed towards her rather than initiated by her: \u201cPeople are asking me&#8230; They\u2019re asking lots of people.\u201d Vance aligns with Trump\u2019s America First foreign policy stance; at last month\u2019s Republican National Convention he emphasized that allies must share responsibilities for global peace while asserting there would be &#8220;no more free rides&#8221; for nations ungrateful for American support<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2652,"featured_media":2318684,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/AP24200021203119-scaled-1024x682.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[32082,36872,32603,37096,32076],"class_list":["post-2318683","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-jd-vance","tag-kellyanne-conway","tag-political-news","tag-ukraine-foreign-agent","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/AP24200021203119-scaled-1024x682.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2318683","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2652"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2318683"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2318683\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2318684"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2318683"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2318683"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2318683"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
