“Much has been edited, it’s still a completely empty story,” Bates quotes The Washington Post.

Earlier, Ukrainian deputy Andriy Derkach during a press conference published “recordings of telephone conversations” with votes similar to those of Poroshenko and Biden.

As the deputy said, the record testifies to "the facts of international corruption and high treason at the highest state level."

In particular, several fragments of audio recordings were demonstrated at the conference, one of them related to the dismissal of Viktor Shokin from the post of Prosecutor General of Ukraine in 2016, allegedly at the request of Biden. In exchange for this, he allegedly promised Poroshenko to allocate $ 1 billion to Ukraine.

President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky commented on this situation, noting that representatives of the past authorities of Ukraine are waiting for “a lot of different adventures and different sentences.” According to him, in the investigation "it can be perceived as high treason."
