MOSCOW/KIEV - Ukraine must investigate the activities of U.S. presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son to establish whether his role in a Ukrainian gas company complied with the country’s laws, Mykola Azarov, Ukraine’s former prime minister, said in an interview.
A spokesperson for Joe Biden’s campaign declined to comment on Azarov’s investigation call and none of Hunter Biden’s critics have provided any evidence that he broke Ukrainian law. Azarov lives in Moscow, but says he remains well-connected with parts of Ukraine’s political establishment and would like to return one day. He did not provide further details.
Azarov denies any wrongdoing and Reuters cannot determine whether there is any active investigation on him. The younger Biden has said he consulted for Burisma, but critics have suggested he was not doing actual work in return for his compensation, an allegation he denies.
Something is rotten in the Ukraine 🇺🇦
Although corp media has elected Biden as nominee, the people have not nominated anyone yet.
BIDEN/TRUMP 2020 Prison Camp
Reuters you have 280 characters. ExPM removed for corruption and admitting there is no evidence calls for investigation
Let me understand: he says he is not aware of any evidence of wrongdoing but they should investigate? I am not aware of any evidence my neighbor is a thief but I think we should investigate just to be sure
thomsonreuters This is a ridiculous article. The ex-PM is a crook.
Now thats a BLOW-BACK on the Biden's family
Isn't it true that there was no wrong doing found, why an investigation now? Protecting himself and Trump , maybe?
Biden is so guilty he stinks!
How’s Donbas?
TRUMP PROBABLY SEND THIS EX PM SOME MONEY ,YOU CAN BUY ANYBODY IN UKRAINE IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH MONEY !!
Jesus, Reuters. Go home. You’re drunk.
Bet it was a fictitious job and that he hardly set foot in that country. Like Penelope Fillon in the French Fillongate.
Shameless Reuters! You have no integrity with this garbage!
Sad how Trump has reduced the US to corrupt 3rd world status. These weaker foreign leaders understand the language of corruption. They live it everyday.
Ex Ukraine PM Azarov is a Russian Puppet + was wanted by the Ukrainian govt 4 corruption. He is protected in Russia. Headline should really read Russian puppet involved in smear campaign against most corrupt US President’s opponent.
Did you guys interview Azarov two weeks in a row? Or are you re-running last week's story? In any case I salute your commitment to making sure that everybody knows what this noted expert on the abuse of executive power has to say.
Joe Biden was a part of the Obama Administration that got a free pass for 8 years from the lib media. In any other administration a VP's actions similar to Biden's in Ukraine would have been exposed as corrupt. The lib media wouldn't criticize any aspect of Obama's presidency.
Yes they should. If uve got nowt 2 hide- y be fussed?
Let's make a GOP & DNC twelve month cease-fire, and get's glory President Donald J. Trump smooth operated re-elected..take a Acapulco vacancy Nancy + Chuck...
Mykola Azarov- EX-Prime Minister- was caught laundering money during his term in office and went on the run. He now has an international arrest warrant from Interpol. So this is BS.
Why? Because Trump will with hold military aid if they don't!
The only issue is Trumps intention.
says the ex PM...who is on an international wanted list
What did Trump promised him? By the way where's all the taxpayers money goes? Is it used for Trump's pay offs, election promises and personal stuff/people?
Look at how they handle two different charges: for Dems it’s “presented no evidence” and for Trump it’s “appears to have”.
As “ex-pm”, sun-set pm, former pm, flushed pm...... still got such power to make “order”? 🙃🙃
👍👍 it’s all over but the cryin’
Now do Donny Jr, Ivanka and the other one (Eric )
Why job in Ukraine? Why not with Dupont in Wilmington Delaware? Couldn't his father fix it? He has to go all the way to Ukraine do nothing & receive a fat pay check? Why not a fat pay check from Dupont for do nothing job? Why not like Jared & Ivanka my favorite freeloaders?
The ex PM who lives in Russian exile bc of his corruption during his time as politician in the Ukraine?
correct headline: '...says fugitive ex-Ukrainian PM Mykola Azarov' 'Since July 2014, Azarov has been on the international wanted list for alleged abuse of power. On 19 January 2015 Kiev District Court of Pechersk Raion issued an arrest warrant'[Wikipedia]
JoeBiden SpeakerPelosi RepAdamSchiff HillaryClinton BillClinton BarackObama HunterBiden ex-Ukrainian PM will investigate Hunter & the YOU GUYS, 🎼we’re going to put you away, haha...we’re going to put you away haha hoho heehee
The former Ukrainian PM who lives in Russia & has warrants out for his arrest in Ukraine because of embezzlement and misappropriation charges, feels the need for an investigation into Hunter Biden? Sounds about right for someone on Interpol’s red notice list! Way to bury the lede
For getting paid?
No investigation no money tsk tsk
EX-Ukrainian PM? Why is this irrelevance being reported?
Hmm ...while we're at it, let's invite the world to investigate the former Ukrainian PM for corruption. Ukraine
The one they fought a revolution to oust? That ex-PM?
I’ve never seen reuters choosing words so carefully! It’s almost as if they’re trying to cover up for Biden
In Pitbulls voice :: Sing it with me : Joes goinnnnn Down , I’m yellinnn Timberrrr
Joe's too old anyway. Hope this takes Trump out. Mobster Trump should be jailed for abuse of power and obstruction of Justice.
The fist Ukraine must investigate ex Ukrainian PM and Ukraine does this. He is thief, fugitive and loves Putin very much.
Corruption all over his face!!!! POS!!!
This is what they call a 'quid' in the impeachment inquiry business.
Joe Biden a good honest man
You are complicit
The criminal Trumps investigating the criminal Bidens. Then we have the criminal Clintons and the criminal Bush clan. The U.S. is just a enterprise of criminal families.
Azarov, (now living in Moscow), who was prime minister from 2010-2014, is himself wanted by Ukrainian authorities. An Interpol red notice issued in 2015 at the request of Ukrainian authorities cited accusations, including embezzlement and misappropriation.
The operative word is “EX” PM... who was corrupt.
Biden/Harris 2020 Now more than ever. Joe is every man persecuted by the swamp
Its not political......💩😂😂😂😂
selfish
Because?
pm got paid
Normally if a foreign government investigated a US citizen without evidence, wouldn’t the US step in to assist the citizen?
Hilarious that these ousted former PMs of Ukraine would call for corruption investigations. I mean, no one would know more about being corrupt.
The radical Dems and their accomplices in evil, the mainstream media, need to answer for their sins in the eyes of Jesus and the American public!
Why they didn't do that when he was not EX?
World must investigate Joe Biden's son, says God and Devil 🧚♀️👹
“.... or else we don’t get the Javelins we need...”
Ukraine now is kingmaker of US presidential election.🤣
As in get on w this program
And the BBC must tell us just what they paid the ex president in damages.
There is not story only about Hunter Biden. Joe Biden provided 'cover-up' of the corruption in Ukraine. Some US officials enriched by themselves taking bags of cash from Ukraine and tried hiding them in Bitcoin as it was revealed Russia's Vladislav Ginko
Why are you disseminating RU propaganda?
Ex-Ukrainian PM better think of his corruption case under investigation
Here we go!!!I wonder where he got that idea?!!!
Garbage!
his son again...
Why?
They can do that....but Trump will still be guilty of everything under the sun!
Incredibly irresponsible 'journalism' and headline. A piece written by russians about corrupt and criminal ex-PM of Ukraine who is russian and hides in russia.
Giving this obvious lie legs when the entire orchestration of it is out in open, is piss poor journalism.
Reuters became Russia Today
maybe mr. ex pm.didn't u learn anything rhis weekSTAY OUT OF USA POLITICS
Gaslighting bullshit.
Folks how many of you have been offer a job that pays you$50,000 a month? For you to work in something you don’t know about or in a country you know nothing about? Oh! There’s a caught you have to have your dad be the VP of the US! CORRUPTION
Look deep into Paul John Manafort Jr....
Oh. You mean the CORRUPT ex Ukrainian PM. Sure. Let’s take his word for it. 🙄
This is strange, Reuters published the same news on Sep 27. Are you people there seriously ignorant of what is going on in Ukraine? This makes me doubt everything else you report.
Azarov lives in Russia where he run away from Ukraine. He is Putins doll. Why Reuters is not mentioning that? Whatever this guy says is a lie.
Hahahaha
This is ugly propaganda Reuters not news
JoeBiden is up to his creepy neck in corruption! Watch our special on Creepy Joe and why he should be under investigation below 👇👇👇
Laughable.
Please Reuters, don't spin this crap!
That ex-Ukraine President probably a Russian mole.
That guy was the Russian installed corrupt PM that the Ukranians chased out and he hid in Russia! He has No credibility!
Have at it. Who cares?
He lives in Moscow. Nuf said.
Hunter Biden:
Shame on you Reuters! Propagating what corrupt ex-politicians lie
Who cares, go Warren! This doesn’t negate Trump’s impeacheable offense
Who cares and how much were you paid in order for you to write this nonsense?
Said the guy who ran away to Moscow🙄
Mykola Azarov, Ukraine’s former prime minister, is Russian, not Ukrainian, a Putin ally, and criminal with warrants outstanding for his arrest.
Ukraine Ex-politicians are extremely corrupt. They're Putin allies and by hence, tRump's allies, so.. Nobody cares what he says or wants.
Isn’t this whole Biden thing kind of old news...? Would anyone care about it if Biden wasn’t running for President?
Ex-Ukrainian PM From when Ukraine had a Putin Puppet leader who the people ousted? COME ON!!
while we are on it, please also look into his son's dealing in China. That Bohai Harvest investment fund. Why it has $1.5 B loan from Bank of China? What qualification it had to get the credit? I am sure it is all because of his VP dad.
Trump found the corruption in the Ukraine alright and now he's exploiting it.
No it’s trump that needs full investigation what a traitor trump is
What immaculate timing! /s
Nope
Got_It 👍🏻
ex-Ukraine Russian puppet imho
Quit reporting this. It’s debunked. You’re falling for the trap. You’re becoming fake news.
Reuter’s, paid for news.
Bull--Investigate Ivanka and he China Trademark deals--should Ukraine be responsible for Malaysia 17 --why did they not have a warning out
“Azarov, who was prime minister from 2010-2014, is himself wanted by Ukrainian authorities for alleged abuse of power. “🤔🧐😏
Here We Go the Dems. & Trump🕴 Walk Back🚶 For 2 Weeks , While in Sunny California 👍Told Yee ❗
In a related story, Hunter Biden was just promised a job as a Captain on United Airlines, “just as soon as your dad gets elected president,” according to United Airlines sources. When asked about the fact, H. Biden has no flying experience, United had “No Comment.”
Ummm ... the company in question is registered in Cypress Sounds like a scam already ...
The Democratic party cannot be serious about winning the 2020 election if it nominates Biden. Plain and simple.
Y'mean the one that was working to give Ukraine to Putin? Uh huh, righhhhhhhht
Bullshit!
Ukraine politics are comedy?
Whatever look into it and rule it out
We need to know what was going on. Its suspicious that Biden pressured them to fire the prosecutor. Was that an abuse of power on his part? Lets find out.
It was already done and nothing came out of it.
The guy who was being Trump for help swaying the Ukrainian elections? Still bootlicking
Uh oh
*This*👇”ex-Ukrainian PM”?
Wasn't the ex Ukrainian PM a puppet stooge pal of Putin?
There is no MUST, the GOP has a deflection model who’s time is up. This matter has been investigated & found to be baseless. GOP has destroyed itself from the inside through greed & corruption. SenateDems SenateGOP HouseDemocrats washingtonpost maddow nytpolitics
Why. Just because he is the then VP son and was given a job for which he has no experience? What could be wrong with that?
Go ahead. There is nothing that the Bidens want more than to clear their name. And there is nothing that Trump fears more than to be proven wrong.
Already did NBCNightlyNews move on
Russian Stooge
What can a US wannabe lawyer provide a Ukrainian gas Co worth $850,000? Maybe a $1Billion from the Dad
😂😂😂😂 in case you missed it, it was! FYI Here comes the bots & liars...
Don't give this credibility.
Why?
That should have been investigated years back.
I agree Biden needs to show transparency and why he and his son was affiliated with that country...
There is video of Biden bragging about him withholding $1 billion unless the Ukraine prosecutor was fired. Why not mention that in your article?
why are you perpetuating this crap!? Its already been cleared that the corruption occurred BEFORE biden jr was hired. Let it go! Trumps a madman dont support his paranoid, delusional rhetoric!
Didn't they do that already? JFC.
So, the Putin Puppet that has to flee his own country and escaped to Moscow is siding with Treasonous Trump? They don’t even pretend anymore.
please stop. the ex pm was voted out because he was corrupt and blames the Obama admin. Trump is probably funneling $ to him
Yup...this guy
Yah pro Russian ex prez.
No one cares about Biden or his Junior. Trump committed a crime asking for an investigation. That's the only important story.
They already did.
I'm OK with that as long as we hear NOTHING from 45 supporters about suits against him once he's out of office.
So the former prime minister is as bribable as ever I see.
Does he mean like the other guy did and didn't find anything amiss?
Biden parlaci di tuo Figlio
Earlier reporting had H. Biden stepping down from the board in 'early 2019.'
The same one currently wanted and on the run, hiding in Russia.
Pushing Russian talking points by quoting fleeing criminals now. Reuter’s Credibility plummets to Zero. Unfollowed.
Reuters Moscow-based journalists managed to dig out and interview a literal criminal ousted with Yanukovich. In Moscow.
The one hiding in Moscow? That one?
Is that the PM that is one of Putin's Bitches Just more Russian disinformation?
Seems to me there was a little issue with money wires in a manner that you would expect from a money laundering operation.
Didn't the ex-Ukrainian PM also say that all the people who write for Reuters are child molesters, too?
Lol. So says a dude hiding in Russia...
It seems that Democrats' move backfired. Interesting times
context: this ex-PM was chased out of Ukraine because of his administration's corruption and now lives in exile in Moscow. His boss (Viktor Yanukovych, who Manafort illegally worked for) was literally convicted of being a traitor
yeah, susre, the 'opinion' of mother of corruption , the PM UNDER Yanukovich, hiding in Russia from prosecution counts?! Counts for what, one penny ?
This country, Ukraine, has enough to deal with . Being a part of Trumps political shitshow should not be happening! It’s a disgrace! Guessing Putin is pretty fucking happy!
Works for me. Now investigate Ivanka, Jared, Eric, and Don Jr. as well.
Russian friendly, ex-Ukrainian PM, who fled to Moscow and is wanted by Ukrainian authorities for abuse of power including charges of embezzlement and misappropriation, sides with Trump administration..... Color me shocked...
Doesn't looks good for Biden in Ukraine.
Damn sure should. Tired of all these corrupt politicians and their families
Also investigate trump’s children
He lives in Russia so of course let's all take him seriously.
Coupled with the letter from our heads of state during Obama administration threatening to suspend support unless prosecutor removed suggests political wrongdoing
Bwahahaha, Trump and his dumb lawyer are at it again.
However, if Trump has anything to do with it he may be the next PM after all... Make Putin Laugh Again...
Don't leave town, Joe.
Isn’t that guy in Russia now?
He said that while on his knees, winking, and holding out his hand
It looks like Putin wants Trump to be re-elected...
I would like to investigate Gen. Mattis for being a board member of a fraud company called Theranos. He also gave them business in the military.
You missed the bigger story this is not about evidence. Its about Pelosi retiring.
That would be warranted but don’t leave out his father.
Do it. If they are corrupt, fine. They’re gone from the political scene. Bye-bye. But ImpeachmentNow for TraitorTrump, regardless.
😂 I’m impressed reuters .. u r on the good list. This garbage is on the naughty list...
That's why he's the ex-PM.
