Zelensky Refused to Proceed against Biden at the Request of the United States

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Kyiv would not act solely on the orders of other countries. “We can’t be commanded to do anything. We are an independent country,” the head of state said when asked whether Kiev would open an investigation into the claims against Joe Biden and his son Hunter, per Trump’s request. At the same time Zelensky noted that Ukrainian law enforcement agencies are ready to investigate any case in which the law was broken “We are open, we are ready to investigate but it has nothing to do with me,” he noted. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said that Kyiv was unlikely to publish its version of a transcript of a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump. According to Zelensky, “There are certain nuances and things which I think it would be incorrect to publish”. Lenta
