Ukrainian media reported that then Vice President Joe Biden requested to put Arsenii Yatseniuk, Valentyn Nalyvaichenko, and foreigners in the Ukrainian government. Yatseniuk became the prime minister, Nalyvaichenko the head of the Security Service of Ukraine, and the former president of Georgia and his former Georgian government officials occupied various positions in the Ukrainian state.

Ukrainian media reports and tapes of phone calls between then Vice President Joe Biden and President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko revealed that Biden had say in Poroshenko’s decision to dismiss Yatseniuk as prime minister and in appointing his successor.

The tapes, Ukrainian media reports, and public admission by Biden showed that he was involved in dismissal of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine and approval of his successor’s appointment.

The declassified transcript of the Trump and Zelenskyy phone call shows the same client-patron relationship between Ukraine and the United States.

The client-patron relationship between Ukraine and the US enabled the use of Ukraine as a US proxy during the Russia-Ukraine war
