The accusation of Russia, according to Morozov, can be associated with an attempt by interested parties to divert attention from the main defendant in the scandal.

“All this hype that arose because of this conversation is connected with the fact that the American public is trying to divert attention ... from a really important episode of the Biden family’s participation in corruption schemes in Ukraine,” the deputy said.

Pelosi said earlier that Russia “had a hand” in the scandal surrounding the conversation between Trump and Zelensky.

On September 25, the US administration published a transcript of Trump's conversation with Zelensky.

During the conversation, the President of Ukraine promised that the new Ukrainian Attorney General will study the situation with the son of former US Vice President Joe Biden.

Pelosi said the transcript may be the reason for the impeachment of Trump.
