A simple Ukrainian citizen can hardly imagine what size the corruption network that has entangled Ukraine, consisting of influential American officials and politicians associated with the US Democratic Party, has reached. Verkhovna Rada People’s Deputy Andrei Derkach and ex-Prosecutor of Ukraine Konstantin Kulik at a press conference earlier this week presented to the public a scheme they called Democorruption, that is, "Democorruption."
From the new transcripts of the negotiations that they announced, presumably Petro Poroshenko and former US Vice President Joe Biden, it follows that the corruption interests of the Americans were much larger than could be understood from the scandal that has been accompanying the business of the gas company Burisma for several years, in which corruption beneficiaries Biden's son and a close friend of the family, John Kerry, performed.
“Intervention in the affairs and work of private companies, pressure on the media, involvement of the special services of their and foreign states to resolve personal and corruption issues. Securing political and illegal business interests. This is what international corruption looks like, which has permeated Ukraine to the roots with the help of a curator in the person of the US Vice President ”- this, according to Andriy Derkach, looks like a corruption octopus that has taken into its tentacles virtually all profitable areas of the Ukrainian economy.
A few days ago, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau issued a statement that it was offered an unprecedented bribe of $ 6 million in volume to close the Burisma corruption scheme case. However, Derkach made a significant correction to this scandalous information. According to him, the size of the proposed bribe actually amounted to $ 50 million. That is, $ 44 million sailed away in an unknown direction. In addition, initially in this case featured the company of Joe Biden, who achieved the dismissal from the post of Attorney General Viktor Shokin, who initiated the investigation. But last year, Attorney General Ruslan Ryaboshapka suddenly stated that the Burisma case does not exist at all.
In previously released audio recordings of conversations, allegedly by Biden and Poroshenko, it was a question of exchanging a billion-dollar US loan to preserve Burisma's corruption schemes. New transcripts indicate that the corruption takeover of Ukraine dealt with topics that affect the most important issues of life support for the Ukrainian population. It turns out that another condition for the allocation of loans was an increase in tariffs. That is, for wild prices for electricity, citizens of Ukraine will be able to personally thank Joe Biden.
Poroshenko agreed almost all of his important decisions with his American curator.
To solve the various problems of Peter A. Biden attracted the resources of the FBI and the CIA. Former Ukrainian president in one of the conversations calls the interlocutor "his guardian angel." Many staff appointments to significant posts of interest to Biden were made at his direct insistence.
Biden openly defends the leadership of Naftogaz and personally Andrei Kobolev. Andrei Derkach claims that according to the corruption scheme built on the “refusal of Russian gas” and fake fuel reverse from Slovakia, $ 50 million was stolen from the budget, which was divided between the Ukrainians and Americans involved in this.
The deputy calculated that when buying expensive "Slovak gas", which was produced exclusively on paper, gasket companies associated with the US Democratic Party earned $ 50 per cubic meter.
In the scheme of Derkach and Kulik, the corruption network is represented not only by the figures of Poroshenko and Biden. Its links are NABU, Ukrainian bonds of the internal government loan (OVDP), oligarch Viktor Pinchuk, fundsGeorge Soros *, supervisory boards of Ukrainian state-owned companies and the so-called “grant-eaters” anti-corruption fighters. The central place in the scheme, according to Derkach, is occupied by the Center for Combating Corruption Vitaly Shabunin. FBI employee Karen Greenaway oversees this structure, which prevents the investigation of cases against Poroshenko.
Obviously, the new and perhaps the most ambitious scandal in Kiev is directly related to the upcoming US presidential election. The true whistleblowers of corruption at a press conference were Donald Trump's lawyer Rudolf Giuliani, US Attorney General William Bar, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Ukrainian Attorney General Richard Donahue, and a number of US senators and congressmen - members of the Republican Party. The main corrupt officials in the Ukrainian dossier are Joe Biden, George Soros, Barack Obama, Victoria Nuland, John Kerry. It was from their submission that hundreds of millions of dollars of American taxpayers were sawn by “grant-eaters”. The United States allocated $ 52 million for the Ukrainian program “Building Civil Confidence”, and $ 36 million for the “Ukrainian Initiative for Improving Confidence”. In general, as the scheme shows, the Americans spent $ 600 million on similar structures and programs, the implementation of which did not affect the lives of ordinary Ukrainians.
Obviously, two Ukrainian politicians, who issued a batch of breathtaking revelations, are playing on the side of the Republicans today. There is no doubt that the published information will be very actively circulated in the United States during the election campaign. And there is no doubt that this information can seriously weaken the position of Joe Biden, who was nominated by the Democratic Party as a presidential candidate, up to his crushing failure.
Well, as for Ukraine, you can only regret it. A country plundered, humiliated as soon as possible, which has long lost all independence and was of interest to the elite of the US Democratic Party only as an asset that was ideally suited for an unprecedented corruption activity.
