The statements on Ukraine[/B] of US President Joe Biden are sensational, before assuming the presidency, which were pulled from the archive and posted on social media.
Between 2014-2016
Titled "US respected Ukraine's sovereignty", a Twitter user presents a video of Joe Biden's statements[/B], before he was elected US president, at an event of the Council on Foreign Relations, a US think tank.
The incident referred to by Mr. Biden must have taken place in 2014 - 2016, judging by the names he refers to, Petro Poroshenko, then president of Ukraine, and Arseniy Yatsenyuk, then prime minister of Ukraine.
Joe Biden speaks disparagingly of his blackmail of the Ukrainian leadership, which he asked to fire a prosecutor in order to guarantee a billion dollar loan.
The blackmail...
Says Biden (from where the quote begins):
"... I went, I guess, on the 12th or 13th time to Kiev and I had to announce that there was another billion dollar loan guarantee and there was a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the prosecutor and they didn't!
"So I came out at the press conference and said I will not give... we will not give you the billion dollars and they said you have no authority! You're not president! The president said... call him! (laughter from the audience).
"I said I said you're not getting the billion dollars, I said you're not getting the billion and I'm getting out of here, I think it was six hours, I said we're leaving in six hours, if the prosecutor isn't fired, you're not getting the money! Come on, son! (laughter from the audience) He's fired! And they put in someone who was trustworthy at the time!"
