"Everyone who wanted to help Ukraine with asset recovery attempts knew how damaging Shokin was."
"Shokin was helping Zlochevsky to evade the asset seizure in the UK," said Daria Kaleniuk, director of anti-corruption watchdog Antac.
2015 In 2015, then-US ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt publicly accused Mr Shokin of deliberately tripping up the UK proceedings by telling Mr Zlochevsky's lawyers that there was no evidence of his wrongdoing.
2015 Shokin was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into Burisma Holdings, a natural gas firm that employed Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, as a board member.
2016 Joe Biden threatened the Prime Minister of Ukraine that if he did not fire Shokin, that the US would hold back $1,000,000,000 of loan guarantees. "I said, "Nah, I'm not going to-or, we're not going to give you the billion dollars."
2018 Biden told the CFR that he pressed President Petro Poroshenko to fire the country's top prosecutor, including threatening to withdraw a $1 billion U.S. loan from the country, which has been economically decimated due to its war since 2014.
