[Stare (Ukraine), Reuters]-Ukrainian President Zerensky said that the Ukrainian side is unlikely to announce the record of a telephone conference with US President Trump on July 25.
The US government released an overview of the telephone conference last week. It turned out that Mr. Trump had asked Mr. Zerensky to investigate the allegations involving the son of former Democratic Vice President Biden.
The Democratic Party has begun investigating the impeachment of the president as an inappropriate act that urged the Ukrainian government to intervene in order to hurt Mr. Biden, a leading candidate for the 2020 presidential election. Mr. Trump dismisses it as a witch hunt.
Mr. Zelensky explained to reporters at a military facility near the capital Kiev that he felt it was wrong to publish Ukrainian conversation records. He expressed his recognition that “publication of specific nuances and matters is itself an error”.
In response to Trump's request, Mr. Biden and his son, Mr. Hunter, who served as a board member of a Ukrainian natural gas company, said he would not act on the direction of a foreign government alone.
“We will not do anything in response to an order, because it is an independent state,” and “I am ready to investigate, but it is unrelated to me. We are ready to investigate. "
