UN GATE, April 7 – What does Bank of America, with its red, white and blue logo and partnerships with the United Nations and other, really think of Ukraine and its leader?
Well, last week in a meeting with BofA's investors and insiders, Daniel Sheehan, BofA Securities’ head of international relations, was critical of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, describing him as 'a master manipulator and mimic' about whom there were ‘serious concerns’ in the US administration."
And BofA would know, the views of the Administration. Of the UN, too: BofA is a member of the dubious "UN Global Compact" and lists its partnerships with the Organization with Impunity.
Before Inner City Press was thrown out of the UN by UNSG Antonio Guterres (who is currently helping Russia sell ammonia, just as BofA moved its bond trading back into the country), it witnessed a meeting with BofA on the podium.
The speaker, like Sheehan, was allowed to brag. Then he was taken to a press conference limited to the members of the UN Correspondents Associations - with Russian and Iranian state media on its executive committee - featuring such questions as "Why does BofA care so much about the environment?"
Why indeed.
