Meeting with attorney without specific meeting format not at level of president - Zelensky on Giuliani
1 min read
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he could not meet with Rudolph Giuliani, personal attorney of U.S. President Donald Trump, in the proposed format.
"I have already said that Mr. Giuliani once took offense that Ukrainian officials did not meet with him here, in Kyiv. Firstly, a meeting with an attorney is not at the level of the president of Ukraine, despite his experience and influence on the White House," Zelensky said during a press marathon in Kyiv on Thursday.
He said he had learned about Giuliani's arrival and departure from Kyiv from press reports.
"I have a format for meetings. They contact the Foreign Ministry and meetings are organized at the level of diplomats not only with the leaders of states, with ambassadors, foreign ministers, businessmen, lawyers, but there is a certain path to this meeting. Therefore, I said I don't do meetings in that format," he said.
Zelensky said that if the meeting between his aide Andriy Yermak and Guiliani was devoted to the organization of Zelensky's visit to the White House, he does not see anything bad in this.
Zelensky said he does not know many details of this meeting.

10:0911.10.2019 Zelensky doesn't see corruption component, law violations in his conversation with Trump
2 min read
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky does not see a corruption component in his telephone conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump. He said he did not violate Ukrainian law, adding that his comments of Trump's words could be construed as interference in U.S. domestic politics.
During a conversation at a press marathon in Kyiv on Thursday, answering questions from an American journalist whether he as a person who positions himself as a fighter against corruption, sees the corruption component in Trump's request to investigate the Burisma case, which includes former vice U.S. President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, he said: "In this case, I think it was not corruption ... I said that we are not corrupt [regarding the Burisma investigation], that we are open to investigating all cases, and we we'll do it according to the law."
Zelensky emphasized that there is no corruption component in his answers to Trump.
"I think that I did not break the law, first of all, the law of Ukraine. I would like that what Mr. Trump said will be judged by the laws of the United States of America, and not by me, as the president of Ukraine. Because if I, as president of Ukraine, comment the conversation with Mr. Trump, it will be primarily interference in your [American] legislative system, interference in your future elections, which means there will be interference in the electoral process, which will become opaque and dependent because of me," Zelensky said.
Answering a clarifying question that Trump's words and actions that it is necessary to investigate the Burisma case were corruption-related, the head of state said: "I should not judge the actions of another president. His actions are governed by the laws of another independent country ... I do not want to comment on the legality of the actions of the president of another country."
"I did not feel pressure and influence," Zelensky said.
Commenting on the words about the new Prosecutor General, who is 100% his man, Zelensky noted that there was an inaccuracy in the translation and he meant that Ruslan Riaboshapka is a man from the president's team, and he believes that the new Prosecutor General will be able to objectively and independently investigate all criminal proceedings, including those related in one way or another to Burisma's work.I drank beer.

The accusation is that the US Embassy influenced the Ukrainian government. But Biden was paid 900k.Burisma paid Joe Biden $900,000 for lobbying – Ukrainian MP
4 min read
KYIV. Oct 9 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden received $900,000 for lobbying activities from Burisma Group, Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada member Andriy Derkach said citing investigation materials.
Derkach publicized documents which, as he said, "describe the mechanism of getting money by Biden Sr." at a press conference at Interfax-Ukraine's press center in Kyiv on Wednesday.
"This was the transfer of Burisma Group's funds for lobbying activities, as investigators believe, personally to Joe Biden through a lobbying company. Funds in the amount of $900,000 were transferred to the U.S.-based company Rosemont Seneca Partners, which according to open sources, in particular, the New York Times, is affiliated with Biden. The payment reference was payment for consultative services," Derkach said.
He also publicized sums that were transferred to Burisma Group representatives, in particular Hunter Biden, a son of the former U.S. vice president.
"According to the documents, Burisma paid no less than $16.5 million to [former Polish President, who became an independent director at Burisma Holdings in 2014] Aleksander Kwasniewski, [chairman of the Burisma board of independent directors] Alan Apter, [Burisma independent director] Devon Archer and Hunter Biden [who joined the Burisma board of directors in 2014]," Derkach said.
"Using political and economic levelers of influencing Ukrainian authorities and manipulating the issue of providing financial aid to Ukraine, Joe Biden actively assisted closing criminal cases into the activity of former Ukrainian Ecology Minister Mykola Zlochevsky, who is the founder and owner of Burisma Group," he said.
"Biden's fifth visit to Kyiv on December 7-8, 2015 was devoted to making a decision on the resignation of [then Ukrainian Prosecutor General] Viktor Shokin over the case of Zlochevsky and Burisma. Loan guarantees worth $1 billion that the United States was to give to Ukraine was the point of pressure. Biden himself admitted exerting pressure in his speech at the Council of Foreign Relations in January 2018, calling Shokin 'son of a ***** who was fired'," Derkach said.
The timeline of events proves that the U.S. linked the Zlochevsky case to loan guarantees, he said.
After the decree dismissing Shokin was published on April 3, 2016, the governments of the United States and Ukraine signed a loan guarantee agreement worth $1 billion, several months later, on June 3, he said.
"In this case, there are facts should be subject to investigation. There is an agency that has powers to investigate them; the U.S. Department of Justice. If the Ukrainian Prosecutor General signs documents and send them to U.S. Department of Justice without any requests, he will accomplish his mission," he said, adding that the Ukrainian Prosecutor General has such powers.
"Considering international corruption in public is a way-out for President Zelensky. I am certain that he is not involved in international corruption," Derkach said.
It was reported earlier that Derkach publicized correspondence between the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and officers of the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv. According to publicized correspondence, starting from July 14, 2017, the lists of criminal proceedings undertaken by NABU officers were sent from the electronic mailbox of Polina Chyzh, an assistant to NABU first deputy head Gizo Uglava, to the electronic mailbox of Hanna Yemelianova, a legal specialist of the anti-corruption program of the U.S. Justice Department at U.S. Embassy in Ukraine.
Derkach also said that NABU-leak materials will be published on his Facebook account and materials that he got from investigating journalists have already been passed to Ukraine's State Bureau of Investigations and the Prosecutor's General Office.
He also said he will initiate the creation of an ad hoc parliamentary investigative commission and has already requested launching a criminal case against Ukrainian officials into interference into U.S. elections. The court session is scheduled for October 21, he said.
Burisma Holdings is a Cyprus-registered gas producing company holding assets in Ukraine. It is one of Ukraine's top-three independent gas producers headquartered in Kyiv. Zlochevsky is the founder and the ultimate beneficiary owner of the companyI drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?
