A reason for that is a political scandal that burst out in Kiev on May 19, when a member of Ukrainian Parliament Andrey Derkach called a press conference where he released audio records of the phone calls between "Individuals whose voices sound like" those of ex-President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and Vice President Joseph Biden, as well as Secretary of State John Kerry who discussed the course of Ukrainian domestic policy in very precise detail.
On that tapes, Joe Biden factually tells Poroshenko what to do, and Poroshenko seeking advice, cooperates his actions and frankly reassures Biden that all his orders will be executed.
During that initial call, Kerry told Poroshenko that "Vice President Biden would like you to consider a possibility to replace General Prosecutor Viktor Shokin Vice President is concerned about it." Kerry urged Poroshenko to resolve this "Issue" by the Biden's visit to Ukraine.
On February 18, 2016 Poroshenko gave Biden "Good news": "Yesterday I met with General Prosecutor Shokin, and despite of the fact that we didn't have any corruption charges, we don't have any information about him doing something wrong, I specially asked him to resign... And despite of the fact that he has a support in the Parliament. And as a finish of my meeting with him, he promised to give me the statement on resignation. And one hour ago he bring me the written statement of his resignation. And this is my second step for keeping my promises." "Great!" - exclaims Biden.
Yes, Viktor Shokin was fired, but Biden made more demands from Poroshenko on March 22, 2016: "Tell me that there is a new government and a new Prosecutor General. I am prepared to do a public signing of the commitment for the billion dollars." "Extremely strong motivation!" - replied Poroshenko eagerly.
The second part of the press conference was dedicated to the "External governance" of Ukraine by the U.S., in which Mr. Derkach presented the records of Biden advising Poroshenko how to deal with the parliamentary crisis in Ukraine that would hinder all necessary reforms.
He detailed corruption actions of the former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovich, the U.S. charge d'Affaires in Ukraine George Kent and FBI Special Representative for Eastern Europe Keren Greenway who blocked the return of funds stolen by the Yanukovych regime to Ukraine in the amount of the country's annual budget.
