The Ukrainian-American businessman said the world would look very differently had Ukraine's president opened an investigation into Joe Biden.
"That Zelensky didn't fold, I think, saved Ukraine and saved the world," said Parnas."Because if Zelensky had folded and made an announcement [of] the investigation of Joe Biden, I think it would've had a huge knock-on effect here in the United States and Trump would've probably won."
Trump was impeached in 2019 over accusations he withheld military aid to Ukraine in hopes of pressuring Zelenskyy into announcing a politically damaging investigation into Biden. TheIn remarks published Tuesday, Ukrainian-American businessman Lev Parnas said the world would be very different if Ukraine's president had bowed to pressure to investigate now-President Joe Biden in the run-up to the 2020 election.
Russia has amassed troops along its border with Ukraine in recent weeks in preparation of a possible invasion of the former Soviet republic. In the interview, Parnas said Ukraine would have bigger problems had Trump prevailed in the 2020 election. "Trump never had any respect for Ukraine," said Parnas."I think he would've given Ukraine to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin just for some oil or gas deal. So that's why the fact that Zelensky didn't fold saved Ukraine."
