Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenskyj sees no evidence that his country interfered in the 2016 US presidential election. Nevertheless, he was ready to investigate allegations, said Selensky.
"We are ready to investigate the accusation that Ukraine interfered in the US election," said the Ukrainian president to journalists. The same applies to investigations to the gas company Burisma, in whose supervisory board sat Hunter Biden, the son of Joe Biden.
US President Donald Trump suspects the Bidens without evidence to have been involved in corruption in Ukraine as in China. He had encouraged the Ukrainian President Selenskyj in a phone call in late July to investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
Joe Biden is applying for the Democratic presidential candidacy in the 2020 election. The content of the conversation with Selenskyj came to the public after an anonymous intelligence officer filed a complaint with an internal control panel. According to the Democrats, Trump temporarily used blocked military aid for Ukraine as a means of pressure on the issue.
While Trump comes under increasing pressure in the Ukraine affair, Selenskyj had long not commented on the allegations. At the weekend he then denied that Trump had put him under pressure.
The US president is threatened with impeachment. The Democrats accuse him of abusing the power of his office for a foreign government to interfere in his election campaign.
