a Ukrainian MP Andriy Dergach has published a recording of the ex-President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and us officials, including former Vice-President of the USA Joe Biden. According to the records, Poroshenko agreed with Biden policy of the country. The U.S. representative, in turn, offered money for the replacement of the government and the Prosecutor General Viktor Shokina.
In Ukraine, non-faction Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Andriy Dergach published audio recordings of telephone conversations — according to him, this record of conversations of ex-President Petro Poroshenko and former Vice-President of the USA Joe Biden and the head of the state Department John Kerry.
They supposedly discuss issues of internal policy of Ukraine, in particular, the issue of suspension at the time of the country’s General Prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was investigating the case involving the son of Joseph Biden.
“The first topic of conversation is $1 billion in exchange for the preservation of schemes [of work] Burisma (the company, which employs Biden’s son hunter. — “Газета.Ru”]. The conversations took place in late 2015 and throughout 2016,” — said Dergach.
So, on one of the records of the alleged conversation Poroshenko and Kerry, which dates back to 3 December 2015, a U.S. official calls the source “to consider the possibility of solving the problem with the replacement of the Prosecutor General Viktor Shokina.” He also drew attention Poroshenko that the issue with the replacement of the public Prosecutor concerned and also the former Vice-President of the United States.
Ukrainian MP also cited the record of negotiations from March 22, 2016. “If you have a new government and a new attorney General, I will be ready for the public signing of a commitment on the $1 billion”, — said one of the interlocutors, whose voice like the voice of a former American Vice-President.
The one whose voice is similar to Poroshenko, said that words of commitment are “extremely motivated”. “One of the possible candidates for this position was the leader of my faction [Yuriy] Lutsenko If you think that a politically motivated person doesn’t quite fit with your point of view, I withdraw my proposal,” he added.
According to the records, who provided Dergach, the former Ukrainian leader asked us officials to give the man from the Embassy of the United States, which could discuss questions of work of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine.
When this resonance audio recordings published by a member of Parliament a few years later after the conversation, point to policy convergence of Ukraine with us officials and in other aspects. For example, Biden advised Ukrainian politicians to carry out the nationalization of “PrivatBank” in the near future — to the coming to power of Donald trump, who with 2017 is the President of the United States. In addition, Poroshenko, according toasno records, reported to the Americans on increase of tariffs for population of Ukraine, the reform of state-owned enterprises.
According to the Dergach, who published the record, this evidence may be grounds for the prosecution of the former President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko on Thursday.
Last fall, public attention was drawn to the case of holding Burisma after a telephone conversation of the U.S. President Donald trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Vladimir Zelensky. Intelligence officer saw in their talk of pressure from trump.
The white house was forced to publish a transcript of talks trump and Zelensky, during which U.S. President once asked him to take steps for the resumption of the investigation against the son of Democrat Joe Biden, who allegedly was involved in corruption in Ukraine. His request, he argued that “many people want to learn the details of this” investigation “Biden stopped”. This conversation served as a pretext for the impeachment of an American leader that brought Democrats expected results.
Holding Burisma engaged in the exploration, production and sale of hydrocarbons, as well as provides maintenance services. In 2014, the son of the former Vice President of the United States joined the Board of the company. This holding was allegedly involved in corruption in Ukraine. The case was assigned to Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, who began to investigate the activities of gas companies. But it didn’t suit Biden Sr., who demanded in 2016 to dismiss Shokin.
