The statement drew immediate criticism, appearing on propaganda channels Russia Today and Sputnik. Conspiracy theorists adopted the statement as evidence that Biden ordered the firing of the prosecutor because his son, Hunter Biden, had been serving on the board that the prosecutor was investigating. However, Hunter Biden had not been serving on the board at this time.

Joe Biden Bragged about getting a Ukrainian prosecutor fired?
the interest in the Ukrainian conflict seems peculiar.
Joe Biden in 2021 was caught discussing firing a Ukrainian prosecutor general in which they had withhold one billion in loan guarantees if the Ukrainian president would not fire Ukrainian prosecutor general to tackle corruption.
MSM had buried this story and story of possible corruption. MSM has avoided the mentions of Biden corruption.

It was the whole committee that decided that the prosecutor had to go before they'd guarantee the loan. It wasn't a shady back-room deal with just Joe Biden and the Ukrainian president.
Funny I don't remember the whole " Committee " on television bragging about the deal
But there is a long list of Western organizations, governments, and diplomats, as well as Ukrainian anti-corruption groups, that wanted to see Shokin fired.
They include the International Monetary Fund, the European Union, the U.S. government, foreign investors, and Ukrainian advocates of reform.
and of course none of this had anything to do with Hunter Biden ?.
Activists say the case had been sabotaged by Shokin himself. As an example, they say two months before Hunter Biden joined Burisma’s board, British authorities had requested information from Shokin’s office as part of an investigation into alleged money laundering by Zlochevskiy. Shokin ignored them.
Kaleniuk and AntAC published a detailed timeline of events surrounding the Burisma case, an outline of evidence suggesting that three consecutive chief prosecutors of Ukraine — first Shokin’s predecessor, then Shokin, and then his successor — worked to bury it.
“Ironically, Joe Biden asked Shokin to leave because the prosecutor failed [to pursue] the Burisma investigation, not because Shokin was tough and active with this case,” Kaleniuk said.

The difference is it wasn't American dollars delegated to Ukraine by Congress; it was the International Monetary Fund's (IMF). Biden was the Obama Administration's representative on the delegation. It was the whole committee that decided that the prosecutor had to go before they'd guarantee the loan. It wasn't a shady back-room deal with just Joe Biden and the Ukrainian president.

Ukraine has pledged to do more to fight corruption and reform state companies after the International Monetary Fund issued a blunt warning that it risked losing billions in financial support as a result of stalling reforms.
Christine Lagarde, the IMF’s managing director, said on Wednesday that Ukraine needed to make a “substantial new effort” to invigorate reforms, warning that without such a push “it is hard to see how [a $40bn IMF-led rescue of the economy] can continue and be successful”.
In a report released this week, the IMF painted a picture of what remains an intensely opaque state-owned sector, where the number of operating SOEs remains a mystery and their financial results are not available to parliament. Losses at SOEs amounted to 5 per cent of gross domestic product in 2014, mostly from Naftogaz, the state energy company, according to the IMF.
Analysts said Ms Lagarde’s threat appeared to signal that the fund was looking for a widescale government shake-up to breathe life into the reform process.
The IMF and other lenders have always made clear that their support for Ukraine was conditional on reforms.

“Poroshenko will have to come up with something very meaningful in terms of cabinet changes and perhaps even a change in the much-criticised public prosecutor’s office to regain credibility,” he said.
The president has come under pressure at home and internationally for refusing to replace a long-time loyalist, Viktor Shokin, as chief prosecutor. Mr Shokin has been criticised for failing to bring to justice any of the snipers who killed dozens of protesters in central Kiev in the final days of the revolution, and for dragging his feet over investigating senior officials and businesspeople.
Taras Kuzio, a Ukrainian political analyst, tweeted that “the crunch is coming for President Poroshenko who has to choose between finally supporting anti-corruption efforts or losing IMF money”.
