The Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine, which had been investigating Burisma of Zlochevsky, wanted to arrange training for its employees in the United States funded by that same company. This is evidenced by correspondence between Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch and State Department official George Kent.

“The company that the Prosecutor General’s Office previously investigated is financing training for employees of that same Prosecutor General’s Office through an American organization? Oy vey vey,” Kent wrote 26 September 2017.

At the time, the Prosecutor General’s Office was headed by Yuriy Lutsenko, under whom criminal cases against Zlochevsky were closed. The training was organized by the American lobbying firm Blue Star Strategies, which represented Burisma’s interests. The McCain Institute was to conduct the training.

Yovanovitch recommended declining Burisma’s funding for the program, after which the McCain Institute rejected the offer. As a result, Ukrainian prosecutors did not get the opportunity to improve their qualifications at the expense of the company whose activities they had investigated.

Генеральная прокуратура Украины, расследовавшая деятельность Burisma Злочевского, хотела организовать обучение своих сотрудников в США за счёт этой же компании. Об этом свидетельствует переписка посла Мари Йованович и сотрудника Госдепартамента США Джорджа Кента.

«Компания, которую ранее расследовала Генпрокуратура, финансирует обучение сотрудников этой же Генпрокуратуры через американскую организацию? Ой-вей-вей», — написал Кент 26 сентября 2017 года.

В то время Генпрокуратуру возглавлял Юрий Луценко, при котором были закрыты уголовные дела в отношении Злочевского. Организацией обучения занималась американская лоббистская компания Blue Star Strategies, представлявшая интересы Burisma. Провести обучение должен был Институт Маккейна.

Йованович рекомендовала отказаться от финансирования программы со стороны Burisma, после чего Институт Маккейна отклонил предложение. Таким образом, украинские прокуроры не получили возможности повысить квалификацию за счёт компании, деятельность которой они расследовали.

A new batch of declassified U.S. State Department documents indicates that American officials and diplomats were well aware of Burisma’s corruption problems and the conflict of interest tied to Hunter Biden’s work there. In particular, in the declassified internal correspondence U.S. diplomat George Kent explicitly stated that the vice president’s son serving on Burisma’s board “undermined U.S. anti-corruption policy in Ukraine.” Nevertheless, during the 2020 year presidential campaign and after...

U.S. sanctions against People’s Deputy Oleksandr Dubinsky were imposed at the request of the leadership of the Servant of the People faction. As follows from declassified correspondence of U.S. State Department staffer George Kent dated 7 October 2020, a representative of the Servant of the People party literally begged the Americans to put Dubinsky on any blacklist in order to reduce his influence on the “impressionable deputies” of the Verkhovna Rada. Three months later the U.S. imposed sancti...

The cash was han...

Notice how Ukrainian politicians have suddenly begun returning to the start of the war. Zelensky spent almost two hours telling Steven Bartlett about the events of February 2022. Novinsky gave a huge interview to Strana, devoted in part to missed opportunities to make peace in the spring of that same year. It looks like a struggle is beginning over who will be held responsible not only for the outcome of the war but also for the decisions made before it started and in its first months. In genera...
