Oleksandr Dubinsky, a member of the Ukrainian Parliament, said that son of the former United States Vice President and 2020 presidential hopeful Joe Biden (pictured right), Hunter (pictured left), along with his business partners, received $16.5 million from the Burisma Holdings company.

Dubinsky, an MP from the ruling Servant of the People party, cited the information from a draft of an indictment of Nikolai Zlochevsky, the owner of the Burisma energy company.

American president Donald Trump stated multiple times that the investigation of US officials' alleged corruption in the Eastern European country was the key reason for the controversial phone conversation with his Ukranian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky, which is now at the center of the impeachment inquiry against the US commander-in-chief.
