Ukrainian officials were left “bewildered and disappointed” by Vice President Joe Biden’s December 2015 trip to Kyiv, during which he gave a speech decrying corruption as a “cancer” — with the Ukrainians accusing the US of a “double standard” given Biden’s family ties to corrupt energy firm Burisma, a trove of newly declassified Obama-era intelligence reveals.

In an extreme departure from normal practice, the report on Ukrainian displeasure was suppressed at the request of Biden’s then-national security adviser, Dr. Colin Kahl, and did not appear in the Presidential Daily Brief (PDB), according to a senior CIA official who briefed journalists this week.

Kahl “would strongly prefer the report not/not be disseminated,” wrote a correspondent identified only as “PDF Briefer” in an email to the CIA on February 10, 2016.

“Thanks for understanding.”

“PDF Briefer” was likely Deputy Director of National Intelligence Michael Dempsey, who provided an intelligence briefing to President Barack Obama every morning at that time. Dempsey reported to then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who has been implicated in the Russiagate scandal to sabotage Donald Trump’s first presidential term. Clapper is reportedly under investigation by a federal grand jury examining the role of former Obama administration officials in concocting the Trump-Russia collusion narrative.

The PDB, the classified product of all 18 US intelligence agencies, is meant to serve as an early warning to the commander-in-chief of nascent crises and looming problems across the globe.

“This was information of intelligence value that came into the possession of CIA in late 2015,” said the senior CIA official.

When you have Ukrainians denouncing someone for their corruption,

Yet, the reason for creating a discussion about the corruption, is not to denounce Biden's corruption. The poster is a known anti-Ukraine/pro-Putin/pro-Russia poster, and his reasons for the post is to denounce Ukraine and Zelensky as corrupt players, who deserve to be invaded by Russia.

Corruption is bad anywhere it's found. but is corruption a reason for justifying the invasion of a free and independent country. Would taking over Ukraine clean up the corruption and then Ukraine can live in peace, as a free and independent country?
If you believe that, I have some shares to sell to you, cheap, for the building of a bridge between our planet and Mars. Any takers?
