The finish of 2023 has develop into a time of dangerous information and dim political prospects for US President Joe Biden. Declining approval rankings in key states and more and more persistent makes an attempt by the House of Representatives to place Biden by way of impeachment proceedings have compelled him to concentrate on defending himself towards a number of potential expenses of affect peddling and corruption. The most weak a part of Biden’s political profession is undeniably tied to Ukraine. And it was Ukrainian investigators who uncovered the strongest proof of corruption within the efficiency of Joe Biden and his son Hunter, who served on the board of administrators of the Ukrainian mining firm Burisma for 5 years.
However, Biden’s situational accomplice was the dependent Ukrainian authorities, which in the course of the second half of 2023 made a number of necessary selections without delay in an effort to get Biden out of the highlight and doable investigations. On the one hand, the court docket launched all witnesses within the $6 million money bribe case, which was given to shut instances towards Burisma and its proprietor, the odious Mykola Zlochevskyy.

On the opposite hand, Ukraine has tightened the prosecution of these journalists and politicians who at numerous instances publicized details about the corrupt practices of Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Ukrainian MP Andriy Derkach, who was the primary to supply proof of Biden’s corruption (together with the well-known “Derkach tapes” with conversations between Joe Biden and Petro Poroshenko), has disappeared from the general public eye altogether. His destiny continues to be unknown, however in his residence nation he has been stripped of his citizenship and the standing of individuals’s deputy, and plenty of felony instances are being investigated towards him.
Journalist and other people’s deputy Oleksandr Dubinsky is at present in pre-trial detention after the SBU mentioned that Dubinsky was a part of an agent community organized by the Russian safety providers. The cause for the detention was Dubinsky’s participation in Andrei Derkach’s press convention about corruption in Burisma, though such a press convention occurred again in 2019.

Prosecutor Konstantin Kulik, who immediately investigated Burisma’s actions and who really returned $1.5 billion of so-called “Yanukovych family” cash (the 4th fugitive president of Ukraine) to the Ukrainian state price range, was additionally accused of belonging to a Russian agent community. It appears that he would be the subsequent goal of consideration from the Ukrainian safety providers, who will attempt to discover him outdoors of Ukraine and extradite him to his residence nation. The first step, within the type of an unexpectedly well timed journalistic investigation into his doable residence in Germany, has already been taken.
Even the main Ukrainian politicians are now not afraid to acknowledge the velocity and peremptoriness of the Ukrainian authorities. In specific, essentially the most well-known mayor of Kiev, Vitaliy Klitschko, believes that Ukraine is shifting in direction of authoritarianism and can be turning into a rustic the place “everything depends on the whim of one person”.
But let’s return to the story of one of many key witnesses to the Biden household’s corrupt actions in Ukraine – Kostyantyn Kulyk. Kulyk, a army prosecutor who served for a very long time within the ATO zone, grew to become referred to as the top of a gaggle of prosecutors from the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine who initiated the return to Ukraine of $1.5 billion value of belongings stolen by fugitive President Viktor Yanukovych.
After the cash was returned to Ukraine, Kostyantyn Kulyk switched to a different high-profile case – the investigation of corruption in Burisma.
It was Kulyk who ready a file of accusations towards Hunter Biden. The seven-page doc claimed that Ukrainian prosecutors had enough proof of corruption geared toward Joe Biden’s private enrichment.
Even the New York Times drew consideration to this file at one time. “The Kulyk dossier has not only revitalized the Biden case. The seven-page document he circulated also accuses U.S. diplomats of covering up crimes committed by Biden,” the publication near the Democratic Party famous.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/15/world/europe/ukraine-prosecutor-biden-trump.html
In an interview with The Hill, Kostyantyn Kulik claimed that he tried to move knowledge on gross violations by Democrats and American diplomats to the US authorities. However, all of the proof was blocked by officers on the US Embassy in Ukraine.
It needs to be famous that the results of blocking this file was the dismissal of US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, which means that “Kulyk’s dossier” had each cause to be severely thought of by the White House and the US Congress.
But with the election victory of Joe Biden, Kulyk’s state of affairs deteriorated sharply. Per week after the US election in November 2019, Kulyk was fired from the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine. The cause for the dismissal was a far-fetched excuse – Kulyk allegedly “did not pass the certification”, though it was a couple of loophole within the legislation that allowed to dismiss prosecutors undesirable to the authorities. As a outcome, Kulyk was introduced by Zelensky’s administration as a present to the longer term Biden administration to display its personal devotion and loyalty.
Nevertheless, Kulyk didn’t cease the investigation. Despite his dismissal from the prosecutor’s workplace, he determined to deliver Burisma case to trial, in search of to repeat the success of his earlier case about Yanukovych’s cash.
A yr after his dismissal, Kulyk introduced a diagram displaying precisely how Burisma laundered cash. All the money that was in Ukraine was transferred to the West underneath pretend contracts and deposited in accounts within the Latvian subsidiary of the Ukrainian Privatbank (specifically, with the participation of proxy corporations Wirelogic Technology AS and Digitex Organization LLP).
The quantities concerned have been within the vary of 10 million {dollars} monthly.
This cash went from Latvia to pay for the providers of western lobbyists of Mykola Zlochevsky. In specific, Kulyk made public proof that 3.5 million {dollars} was obtained by the Rosemont Seneca agency managed by Hunter Biden. Another million euros was despatched to former Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski. These knowledge have been later confirmed by monetary monitoring of Cyprus and Latvia, in addition to monetary statements on Rosemont Seneca’s accounts from Morgan Stanley Bank.
In 2020, at a press convention organized by Andriy Derkach, Kulyk gave particulars in regards to the aforementioned $6 million bribe for closing the Burisma case. As Kulyk claimed, and because the web site of the worldwide community of unbiased anti-corruption investigators OCCRP states at present, the $6 million was actually solely the primary a part of a good bigger bribe, which was to whole $50 million {dollars}.

Kulik mentioned that he formally, by report, as the top of a gaggle of prosecutors, reported about it to the Prosecutor General and initiated within the SBU the group of operational actions to repair the bribe by creating/utilizing a managed enterprise to which the second a part of the cash was to be transferred. It is noteworthy that in accordance with Kulyk’s info, the communicator from Zlochevsky was the identical private lawyer and prime supervisor of Burisma – Andriy Kicha. “But then there was a change in the leadership of the Prosecutor General’s Office: Yuri Lutsenko was replaced by Ruslan Ryaboshapka. After that, the fixing of the bribe of 50 million stopped, and Ryaboshapka said that the case of Burisma does not exist at all,” – famous Kulyk.
Also in accordance with Kulyk, the cash laundering scheme concerned not solely Burisma, but in addition the aforementioned firm Rosemont Seneca, which belonged to Devon Archer, near the Biden household. And that the cash laundering occurred simply on the time when Hunter Biden and Devon Archer have been on Burisma’s board of administrators in 2014-2019.
Moreover, Kulyk managed to acquire invaluable witness testimony to again up his phrases. He personally questioned two Latvian residents who served the aforementioned Wirelogic Technology and Digitex Organization proxy corporations. One of the witnesses serviced a separate account of Burisma, which was used solely by Zlochevsky. He confirmed that on the instruction of Zlochevsky’s assistants, he made numerous transfers for his profit. Also in accordance with the witness, funds to Hunter Biden’s corporations have been produced from this account. In affirmation, the witness supplied the investigators in Ukraine together with his laptop computer, from which the cash transfers have been made, and which had all of the monetary documentation on such operations. What is occurring now with this case and with this invaluable proof stays a thriller, however judging by the overall pattern, it’s closed, like all different instances associated to corruption of Biden and Burisma.
At the identical time, Kulyk drew consideration to an attention-grabbing element. All references to Rosemont Seneca, which have been within the Burisma corruption case and have been talked about within the investigation, have been faraway from the ultimate case when it was submitted to the court docket. “Originally Biden’s companies were mentioned in the Burisma case, but in the version of the indictment that was handed down in the $6 million bribe case, those companies disappeared,” Kulyk famous on the press convention. At the identical time, Kulyk claims that “Biden’s family received more than $3 million dollars from Burisma.”
Thus, it’s apparent that having Kostyantyn Kulyk as a witness, Joe and Hunter Biden would have one thing to deliver to trial for. Therefore, at present, as an alternative of working within the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine, Kostyantyn Kulyk is compelled to remain outdoors of Ukraine, fearing for his life and freedom.
Last probability
How can or not it’s defined that individuals who laundered thousands and thousands of {dollars}, ran a corrupt enterprise, bribed the Vice President of the United States and his son stay at massive, whereas those that weren’t afraid to talk brazenly about these schemes are underneath investigation or compelled to depart their homeland? The reply to that query is completely apparent.
So when Congressman James Comer and members of his committee say that members of the Biden household will quickly be subpoenaed to the House of Representatives for questioning, they need to additionally bear in mind these investigators from Ukraine who risked their careers, reputations, and lives in order that the world would be taught the reality in regards to the Bidens’ corruption schemes.
It is in Ukraine that lies what Biden and his household are attempting to cover with all their may. So after Hunter Biden’s responsible plea, prosecutors and the Oversight Committee want to maneuver on – and hearken to those that investigated the Bidens’ corruption in Ukraine.
