If actually a sovereign state in Jan. 2017, Ukraine would’ve refused to receive Biden. But for the Kiev regime, friendly backslappings by the US boss were more important than the country’s national interests-Eurasia Daily, 1/17/2017

If you remember, the [2014] anti-terrorist operation in Donbass was preceded by the visit of U.S. Vice President Joe Biden and CIA Director John Brennan to Kiev. During that visit in Apr 2014, Biden was sitting at the head of the negotiating table the place meant for the president of Ukraine – and was distributing directives to the representatives of the “sovereign” Maidan regime.

Since then he has been the United States’ key inspector for Ukraine. Since 2014, old Joe has paid five visits to Kiev. In Dec 2015, he confessed that he had more conversations with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko than with his own wife. In less than two years, the two spent more than 1,000 hours talking on the phone.

In Ukraine, Biden was responsible for a wide range of issuesfrom appointments of personnel (it was he who forced Poroshenko to dismiss Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin in exchange for a $1bn loan) and settlement of conflicts inside the Kiev “terrarium of kindred spirits” to military-political and diplomatic activities. And, of course, he actively encouraged the Kiev regime into fighting corruption, implementing reforms and doing other tasks U.S.-controlled aboriginal regimes are usually supposed to do.

Formally, Biden was an advocate of diplomatic efforts in Donbass. While speaking at the Supreme Rada in Dec 2015, he even urged the Kiev authorities to do something they usually punished their opponents for – to federalize Ukraine.


Autonomous independent states, their determination to have their own police forces, their determination to have their education system, to have their own government under the united constitution. Constitutional reform that includes judicial reform and decentralization does not compromise your sovereignty. It enhances it. It’s an important step to building a strong, new nation. And it’s important to the Ukrainian-European future,” Biden said.

But if the Americans were actually keen to settle the conflict in Donbass, Poroshenko would have forced the MPs to approve bills on Minsk 2. Onishchenko’s recordings have shown that the Ukrainian MPs can approve any decision if they get certain financial resources in exchange….

Politics are not Biden’s only interest in Ukraine. Here he also has business interests. His son, Hunter Biden, is in the board of Ukraine’s biggest private gas producer, Burisma Holdings (an annual output of 1.5bn c m). That company is owned by Mykola Zlochevsky, who was Ecology Minister under Viktor Yanukovych. And just a week before Biden’s visit to Ukraine, the country’s Prosecutor General Yuri Lutsenko ceased all criminal proceedings against Zlochevsky. Poroshenko might have had a big role here as in Vienna journalists saw Zlochevsky talking with Poroshenko’s man Ihor Kononenko, one of the grey cardinals of the Kiev regime. Lutsenko’s decision was a great gift to the Biden family as now they have free hands in Ukraine. Hunter Biden’s appointment into Burisma’s board was a bright example of elite corruption: Biden was given access to a gainful sector while Zlochevsky got a political cover.”…
