The European Commission praised Ukraine’s Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin for his efforts to fight corruption in a December 2015 progress report published nine days after then-VP Joe Biden demande…
The report flies in the face of Biden’s claims that the European Union joined his demands that Shokin be removed for being corrupt and obstructing anti-corruption reforms.
An FBI informant file said that Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of natural gas company Burisma Holdings, claimed that he was “coerced” into paying $5 million apiece in bribes to Joe and Hunter Biden in exchange for Shokin’s ouster.“Based on these commitments, the anti-corruption benchmark is deemed to have been achieved,” the European Commission report found. “The progress noted in the fifth report on anti-corruption policies, particularly the legislative and institutional progress, has continued.
Shokin’s office issued a warrant to seize all of Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky’s properties in Kyiv on Feb. 2, 2016. The European Commission’s praise for Ukraine’s progress on anti-corruption reform during Shokin’s tenure echoes internal State Department documents published by Just the News.
