10. Biden was soft on a corrupt oligarch

Multiple officials saw Mykola Zlochevsky as a corrupt “odious oligarch.” Victoria Nuland, former Assistant Secretary of State for Europeans and Eurasian Affairs testified that confronting oligarchs would send an “anti-corruption message.” However, instead of adhering to U.S. intentions, Biden was advised to avoid commenting altogether. Instead, he said, “I’m not going to get into naming names or accusing individuals.”
