“You know, I, in any case, can say that at the moment I definitely do not envy Mr. Zelensky, if we take the relations of Ukraine with the United States of America. Because he fell between the hammer of the Democratic Party and the anvil of the Republican Party, ”Medvedev quoted Interfax as saying.

If Zelensky continues to investigate the son of former US Vice President Joe Biden, then "then the Democrats will resent him and say that Ukraine will interfere, as the Americans like to do, in the US election."

Moreover, if Zelensky “blocks this investigation”, he will “be offended by the current administration, the Trump administration, to which he promised assistance in clarifying certain issues.”

On September 25, the White House published a transcript of a conversation between the US president and his Ukrainian counterpart, Vladimir Zelensky.

During the negotiations, Zelensky promised that the new Ukrainian prosecutor general would study the situation with the son of former US vice president Joe Biden.

Trump then stated that his intention to “end corruption” was not related to politics or the political campaign against Biden and his son.
