As a board member of Ukrainian energy company Burisma, Hunter Biden never came to Ukraine

As a board member of Ukrainian energy company Burisma, Hunter Biden never came to Ukraine, only attending overseas board meetings of the Cyprus-based company, Reuters reports, citing three sources. In April 2014, the month after President Viktor Yanukovich fled Ukraine, Burisma owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, a former minister of ecology and natural resources in the Yanukovich government, hired Hunter Biden and a colleague Devon Archer. In a review of payment records for the first 18 months, Reuters concluded that Biden and Archer were paid $83,333 a month. Oleksandr Onyshchenko, a businessman and friend of Zlochevsky, told Reuters the Burisma founder, appointed Biden, a son of then US Vice President Joe Bidden, “to protect (the company).”
