[CNSNEWS] Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday again denied having been put under any pressure by President Trump, during a July phone conversation, to investigate Joe Foreign Policy Whiz KidBiden  ...The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body...or his son’s business dealings in Ukraine ‐ an allegation at the center of the Democratic impeachment inquiry. In what was billed as his first major interview by non-Ukrainian media since the row erupted, Zelensky was quoted as telling Japan’s Kyodo News agency that neither his invitation to the White House nor the sale of anti-tank missiles to Ukraine were made conditional on his willingness to cooperate in the Biden matter. "I was never pressured and there were no conditions being imposed" to secure an Oval Office meeting with Trump or the weaponry, he said. Zelensky said he had had no discussions with Kurt Volker, the former U.S. special envoy for Ukraine, about investigations into Biden, as a condition for being invited to visit Washington. Neither would he have accepted such a condition, he said. Related: Volodymyr Zelensky: 2019-10-05 Trump To Trim NSC Staff : Enough Whistling !
