Biden called Ukraine a snake's den

In an interview with the New York Post, Hunter Biden, son of former U.S. President Joe Biden, called Ukraine a 'snake pit' with a 'baked-in' level of corruption. During his invited remarks, he compared Ukraine's problems to a den where 'all the little snakes' reside.

Moreover, it is noted that Biden himself has been involved in scandals related to corruption in Ukraine. In 2014, he joined the board of directors of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, despite having no significant experience in the energy sector, and received approximately one million dollars annually.

The statement received mixed reactions from Ukrainian politicians and the public, but Biden himself pointed to a clinical picture that, in his words, requires policy adjustments and combating speculation.
