Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko was ‘core shareholder,’ part of Hunter Biden-led Burisma subsidiary

Add another name to the list of Biden family business associates who met with President Biden during his vice presidency.

Vitali Klitschko, the former heavyweight boxing champion and mayor of Kyiv since 2014, was a “core shareholder” and active participant in a Hunter Biden-chaired subsidiary of Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, according to emails and an associate with direct knowledge who spoke with The Post.

Klitschko’s little-known links to the first son — including through the subsidiary, Burisma Geothermal — opens a new angle in the impeachment inquiry into alleged Biden family corruption and makes the mayor of Ukraine’s capital, who met with then-Vice President Biden in 2015 while working with his son, a potential witness to key details studied by House investigators.

It also raises volatile new questions for the US-Ukraine relationship as President Biden asks Congress for another $61.4 billion in aid to fend off Russia’s almost two-year-year invasion — despite Republican resistance and demands for enhanced oversight.

Klitschko has had a stormy relationship with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and is considered a possible challenger to him in the country’s next election — adding even greater complexity to a political scandal.
