A Ukrainian lawmaker who previously met with and gave an interview to Rudy Giuliani, U.S. President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, has released audio recordings allegedly featuring phone conversations between former U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden and former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko.
On May 19, lawmaker Andriy Derkach held a press conference during which he played excerpts of the recordings, alleging that they showed that Biden and American financier George Soros had exerted undue influence over the Ukrainian government under Poroshenko.

This Derkach has an impeccable history, let’s take a look at it.
“Andrii Leonidovych Derkach (Андрі́й Леоні́дович Де́ркач) (born August 19, 1967) is a politician and businessman who is a member of the Ukrainian parliament (Verhovna Rada) and an activist of the Russian Orthodox Church.”
“Derkach has been accused of having been involved in ordering the bloody assault by security forces on peaceful demonstrators in Kyiv on December 11, 2013.”
“According to anti-corruption watchdog organization Chesno, Derkach and his associates appropriated protected lands valued at millions of dollars. he also failed to declare his wife’s stake in various of his business enterprises, as he was obliged to do under the Ukrainian law to prevent corruption.”
And finally!
“Anders Åslund, senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, called Derkach “not credible” and a “professional disinformer.”
Hardly a character you would trust with your life. Yet another example of Zelensky fighting corruption, and even worse, a scumbag involved in the attack of students in 2013 that lead to Maidan.
I don’t see a very positive outcome until putinoid 5th columnist slime like this are locked up. Giuliani proves his pro-putler/Ukraine hate yet again. Vermin.
