The leader of the Batkivshchyna party, Yulia Tymoshenko, was spotted in Washington during one of the main events dedicated to the inauguration of Donald Trump. We are talking about the inauguration prayer. This is evidenced by photographs that are at the disposal of the editorial staff of Telegraf .
The event was attended by all key members of Donald Trump’s team, including his closest advisers, senior administration officials and key political allies.
As you know, on Saturday, January 18, the inauguration events in the United States began, which lasted four days. This year, due to the expected extremely low temperatures and gusty winds in Washington, the main inauguration events were moved to the US Capitol Rotunda. This decision was made by Donald Trump, referring to the 1985 precedent, when Ronald Reagan held his inauguration indoors due to similar weather conditions.
The program included the swearing-in of Vice President J.D. Vance and President Trump, his inaugural address, and an honorary departure for Joe Biden.

“1985 precedent, when Ronald Reagan held his inauguration indoors due to similar weather conditions.”
Bullshit.
In 1985, the temperature was 7 degrees. “Similar weather conditions” to the predicted 26°F would be:
• 1961: Kennedy – 22°F
• 1977: Carter – 28°F
• 2009: Obama – 27°F
all of which were held outside.
It’s not about the weather. It’s about small crowd size.
