Politico uncovered the Clinton campaign colluding with the Ukrainian government to spread disinformation. It's called propaganda and everyone and their mother in the media is involved in it.
I think I don't why you didn't want to provide the link of the Politico article. The article makes it clear that Russian interference was humongous, and Ukraine interference paled in comparison:
The Ukrainian efforts had an impact in the race, helping to force Manafort’s resignation and advancing the narrative that Trump’s campaign was deeply connected to Ukraine’s foe to the east, Russia. But they were far less concerted or centrally directed than Russia’s alleged hacking and dissemination of Democratic emails.
Russia’s effort was personally directed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, involved the country’s military and foreign intelligence services, according to U.S. intelligence officials. They reportedly briefed Trump last week on the possibility that Russian operatives might have compromising information on the president-elect. And at a Senate hearing last week on the hacking, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said “I don't think we've ever encountered a more aggressive or direct campaign to interfere in our election process than we've seen in this case.”
There’s little evidence of such a top-down effort by Ukraine. Longtime observers suggest that the rampant corruption, factionalism and economic struggles plaguing the country — not to mention its ongoing strife with Russia — would render it unable to pull off an ambitious covert interference campaign in another country’s election. And President Petro Poroshenko’s administration, along with the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington, insists that Ukraine stayed neutral in the race.
Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire
I gave you the link. And it's Politico's spin that the Ukrainian efforts paled in comparison. But since then much more has been discovered and Senator Grassley is on it big time.
It's gotten so wild that it's been discovered that not only were the Podesta Group lobbying for a Russian government bank BUT.......are you ready.....drum roll ....also for the Party of Regions.
Grassley Raises Further Concerns over Foreign Agent Registration

Report Alleges DNC Consultant Involved in Presidential Election Worked with Ukraine
WASHINGTON – Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley wrote to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein raising concerns over yet another instance of deficient enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) as it relates to the 2016 presidential election.
Media reports suggest that Ukrainian “political leadership” opposed the candidacy of Donald Trump for president of the United States and worked with a Democratic National Committee consultant to undermine his campaign. This consultant allegedly had various meetings with Ukrainian government officials, including embassy staff, to coordinate the dissemination of incriminating information about Trump campaign officials.
It appears that this consultant was operating to advance the interests of both the Democratic National Committee, the Clinton campaign, and a foreign government, which would have required registration under FARA.
In his
letter, Grassley requests information on any actions taken by the Justice Department pursuant to FARA in this case, the differences between this case and similar cases in which the Justice Department required registration and whether the Department is investigating links and coordination between the Ukrainian government and individuals associated with the campaign of Hillary Clinton or the Democratic National Committee.
On July 26, the Judiciary Committee will
convene a hearing to examine enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act and attempts to influence U.S. elections.
