Joe Biden

Biden pressured the Ukrainian parliament to remove Shokin

2015
U.S.

In 2015, Biden pressured the Ukrainian parliament to remove Shokin because the United States, the European Union, and other international organizations considered Shokin corrupt and ineffective, and in particular because Shokin was not assertively investigating Burisma. The withholding of the $1 billion in aid was part of this official policy.
