    Hello Everybody,

    President of Ukraine tells Trump to F*ck Off

    KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine’s president says his country can’t be pressured into opening an investigation into Democratic presidential
    candidate Joe Biden or his son.

    And both Ukraine and rival Russia are pushing back at the White House
    for releasing a transcript of a private phone call between U.S.
    President Donald Trump and another world leader.

    President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is trying to contain damage at home and
    abroad after the world learned last week that Trump pushed him to “look into” Biden and his son Hunter, who served on the board of a troubled Ukrainian gas company.

    “We cannot be ordered to do anything. We are an independent country,” Zelenskiy told reporters Monday during a visit to a Ukrainian military
    base, when asked about Trump’s request.

    “We are open, we are ready to investigate, but it has nothing to do
    with me. Our independent law enforcement agencies are ready to
    investigate any violations of the law,” he said. He didn’t elaborate
    on what could trigger an eventual probe.
