This is no surprise, but the former Ukrainian ambassador to the US
adds some fun details,

"Marie Yovanovitch says Rudy Giuliani was Trump's 'personal dirt-digger'
and corrupt Ukrainians used him to spread 'lies and half-truths' in the US"

"The former US ambassador to Ukraine said Rudy Giuliani was a "personal dirt-digger" for former President Donald Trump and worked with corrupt
actors in Ukraine to bring about her unceremonious ouster in 2019.

Marie Yovanovitch testified about some of these details during Trump's
first impeachment inquiry, which focused on his efforts to pressure the Ukrainian president into publicly announcing investigations targeting
the Bidens while withholding vital military aid and a White House meeting.

But Yovanovitch strikes a much more candid tone in her book, "Lessons
From The Edge," where she outlines how Ukraine's corrupt former top prosecutor, Yuriy Lutsenko, used Giuliani as a tool to spread
disinformation in the US ahead of the 2020 election and engineered her
abrupt firing in the spring of 2019.

She says that Lutsenko was aware that Giuliani wanted to paint
then-Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden as corrupt and sought
to "undermine" his candidacy in the 2020 election. So Lutsenko "had
concocted a tale of lies and half-truths to oblige Giuliani,"
Yovanovitch writes. "Lutsenko reshaped actions that Biden had taken to
hold corrupt Ukrainians to account and twisted them into the opposite.""
