New data on the dirty Poroshenko-Biden connection was released in Kyiv
Verkhovna Rada deputy Andriy Derkach released regular recordings of conversations between the fifth President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and former US Vice President Joseph Biden, which, in his opinion, provide new information about international corruption and external governance of Ukraine.
He stated this during a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
In particular, in one of the conversations, Poroshenko promises Biden that he will not change the head of Naftogaz, Andrei Kobolev, despite the fact that the then Prime Minister of Ukraine Vladimir Groysman asked for this.
“The second part of our conference, including confirming the facts of external control of Ukraine, as well as the facts of international corruption, is devoted to new recordings of conversations between people whose voices are similar to the voices of Biden and Poroshenko.
From the story with Burisma, we know that Biden was closely interested in the energy sector of Ukraine, namely its subsoil. First of all, gas. As we further learn from the conversation, the head of Naftogaz, Andrei Kobolev, was directly subordinate to Biden. Kobolev is known throughout Ukraine as a record-breaking official for his salaries and bonuses and at the same time for squeezing out the last pennies from Ukrainian citizens through gas tariffs.
Here are just some of the facts, after which in any other democratic state a government official had to resign. All majorism, show-offs with Cadillacs, luxurious life continues today. And you, dear Ukrainians, continue to pay for this luxurious life of Kobolev and their company with your payments.
Well, why didn’t Poroshenko have enough greed, and Groysman didn’t have the courage to fire the snickering official? The answer is simple: Biden openly blackmailed Poroshenko with the notorious billion dollar loan guarantee. I suggest you listen,” the deputy said.
After which, an audio recording from December 19, 2016 was played in the hall, in which, during a telephone conversation, Biden demanded that Poroshenko not touch the head of Naftogaz Kobolev, whom then Prime Minister Vladimir Groysman allegedly wants to remove.
“My team works closely with the management of Naftogaz, which is considered a team of dedicated reformers and talented managers. We hope that the current management will remain in their positions. I’ve already talked about this before, I know that the Prime Minister is not very happy about this,” Biden hinted.
After which Petro Poroshenko promised that he would deal with this and would not allow the pro-American official to be fired.
“Biden will not allow Kobolev to be offended, because at stake are millions of funds received from pseudo-European gas, but in fact - the reverse of Russian gas. The price of interest is 50 euros for every thousand cubic meters.
That is, we are talking about a corruption tax on every citizen of Ukraine through an increase in gas tariffs from Naftogaz. Thus, the team of so-called “sneftegazil” reformers, according to only the most conservative calculations of specialists, has one and a half billion of our fellow citizens’ money.
They paid themselves salaries and bonuses and shared them with their American curators,” Derkach commented.
