Former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, the official Joe Biden publicly threatened and forced out of office in 2016, claims in his book Biden’s Corruption and War: The True Story of the 1 Billion Dollar Prosecutor that hundreds of billions of American taxpayer dollars connected to Ukraine were recycled through political interests and “globalist networks.”
According to a Blaze Media column citing Shokin’s first-person account, massive sums of U.S. aid intended for Ukraine were recycled through political and globalist networks.
He alleges $350 billion in American taxpayer money was diverted into these opaque channels amid the chaos of war. Arms deals were tainted by corruption.
Wartime disorder allegedly facilitated trafficking of Ukrainian women and children. The book paints the conflict itself as a vehicle for enrichment and influence far beyond the battlefield.
Shokin was the prosecutor general investigating Mykola Zlochevsky and Burisma Holdings, the same corrupt energy company that put Hunter Biden on its board and paid him an eye-watering salary for “expertise” he didn’t have.
Shokin says his office was moving against the company, seizing assets, and getting uncomfortably close to the Biden family connections. That’s when the pressure campaign from Washington intensified.
Joe Biden later famously boasted about it on video: he told Ukrainian officials they weren’t getting the billion dollars unless the prosecutor was gone. “Well, son of a bitch, he got fired.”
Biden called himself the “Vice King” in Ukraine circles for a reason. Shokin’s book details the meetings, the influence over then-President Petro Poroshenko, and the coordinated effort that ended his tenure.
According to Blaze:
Shokin presents a stark thesis: He argues that the war in Ukraine became a vehicle for corruption and hidden agendas extending far beyond the battlefield.
Among his most explosive allegations are claims that $350 billion in U.S. taxpayer money was recycled through political and globalist networks, that arms arrangements were tainted by corruption, and that wartime chaos facilitated the trafficking of Ukrainian women and children.
Those are grave allegations. They come from a man who says he paid a personal price for getting too close to uncomfortable truths. But they remain allegations, and the book should be read as Shokin’s case — not as independent proof of every charge.

Shokin in the book gives his account of the pressure campaign that ended with his removal.
He writes that Joe Biden was known in Ukraine as the “Vice King” and portrays the vice president as wielding extraordinary influence over then-President Petro Poroshenko and the Ukrainian government.
The book lays out names, dates, meetings, and episodes that Shokin says connect the Burisma investigation to the effort to fire him.
The Gateway Pundit previously covered Shokin’s account in August 2023.
In that interview, Shokin said it was his “firm personal conviction” that his dismissal resulted from the Burisma investigation. He characterized the threatened withholding of the loan guarantee as corruption, although he also said he did not want to present unproven facts as established evidence.
We also reported in 2019 on allegations involving missing IMF and American funds connected to Ukraine and PrivatBank.
