Former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Ruslan Ryaboshapka said in an interview published on Wednesday that he believes he was fired from his position last year for refusing to investigate President Biden's son Hunter Biden at the request of Rudy Giuliani and former President Trump.

Speaking to BuzzFeed News, Ryaboshapka said a recently published transcript of a phone call between Giuliani and Andriy Yermak, chief of staff to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, was proof that he had been fired for political reasons.

"It reveals an important detail," Ryaboshapka told BuzzFeed. "Yermak promised Giuliani to open an investigation into Hunter Biden."

"I didn't know about the essence of the call. I didn't know Yermak promised to help Giuliani," he added.

In February, Time magazine obtained a transcript of a phone call between Giuliani and Yermak in which Giuliani demanded an investigation be opened that would help Trump win a second term in office.

"Let these investigations go forward," Giuliani said to Yermak. "Get someone to investigate this."
