22:50
Former Polish President Aleksander Kwaśniewski has admitted holding a position at Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings, belonging to Mykola Zlochevsky, an ally of ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.
Talking to daily Gazeta Wyborcza, Kwaśniewski said he is in an “independent” board of directors at the firm.
The board of directors is not connected with the company’s operations directly, Kwaśniewski said. In his opinion, there is nothing wrong about his advisory work for Burisma even if he had criticized Yanukovych as a politician.
Earlier this week, US web portal Buzzfeed wrote that both Kwaśniewski and Hunter Biden, the son of US vice-president Joe Biden, are members of the supervisory board at Burisma.
