There was pressure to fire Viktor Shokin was initiated by OUR ALLY, the United Kingdom. The USA, under the direction of Vice President Biden would later join the UK in it's money laundering investigation and placed more pressure on Ukraine's leadership to remove Viktor Shokin by removing the offer of loan guarantees.

I was an investigative reporter in the Washington bureau of the Times. (click here) That month, I published a story reporting that Vice President Joe Biden had just traveled to Ukraine, in part to send a message to the Ukrainian government that it needed to crack down on corruption.
But I also wrote that his anti-corruption message might be undermined by the association of his son Hunter with one of Ukraine’s largest natural gas companies, Burisma Holdings, and with its owner, Mykola Zlochevsky. Zlochevsky had been Ukraine’s ecology minister under former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, a pro-Russian leader who had been forced into exile in Russia.
Hunter Biden had joined the board of Burisma in April 2014, the same month that British officials froze Zlochevsky’s London bank accounts containing $23 million. Britain’s Serious Fraud Office, an independent government agency, was conducting a money-laundering investigation and refused to allow Zlochevsky or Burisma Holdings, the company’s chief legal officer, and another company owned by Zlochevsky access to the accounts.
But the British money-laundering investigation was stymied by Ukrainian prosecutors’ refusal to cooperate. The Ukrainian prosecutors would not turn over documents needed in the British investigation, and without that documentary evidence, a British court ordered Britain’s Serious Fraud Office to unfreeze the assets.
In September 2015, then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt gave a speech in which he attacked the Ukrainian prosecutor general’s office for failing to cooperate with the British investigation. In his speech — which I quoted in my story — Pyatt mentioned Burisma’s owner by name....
The video below turns the entire policy of the USA on it's head by introducing the idea it was Joe Biden that initiated the demands for Viktor Shokin's firing. In this video it is made to look as though Joe Biden was using USA Loan Guarantees as a bribe to get rid of Shokin whom was investigating the energy company Hunter Biden was working for.
All this is a lie and truncates the actual dynamics of what was occurring with Ukraine.
Kindly remember Russia is the King of Money Laundering because their currency is worthless. Europe is well aware of the money laundering INDUSTRY affiliated with Russia. Ukraine at the time of the revolution was deeply involved with Russia and Putin. Enough said.
At this point Guiliani is just "a mouth" for Trump. Guiliani is spewing propaganda and that is why Biden made his plea to the media to end the nonsense that was causing problems within the country's politics.
Do we want a government based on lies and propaganda or do we want a country with rock solid policies based on THE TRUTH? It was always my impression the US Constitution demands the truth.
