achieve a unique success. I'm able to tell you the following;
the first time,\ you· called me to · congratulate.me .when I won my
presid�ntial election, and the second time you are now calling
me when my party won the parliamentary election. I think I
should run more often so you can call me more often and we can
talk over the phone more often.
(3/H!i, The President: Well it 1 s·very nice of you .to say that. I
will say that we do ·a lot for Ukraine. We spend a lo . t of effort
and a lot.of time. Much more than the European countries are
·'doing and they should be helping.you more than.they are. Germany
does almost nothing for you. All they do is talk and I think
it's something that you should ·really ask them about. When I.was·
·speaking to Angela Merkel she talks Ukraine, but she ·doesn't do·
anything. A lot of the European countries are the. same way· so I
think it's.something you want to look at but the United States
has been very ·very good to Ukraine. I wouldn't say that it's
reciprocal necessarily because things are happening
. that are not
good but the United States has been very very good to Ukraine.

call you. I will ask him to call yoti along with the Attorney ·_
· General.·:Rudy very much knows what's happening and he is a very
·
capable guy. If you could _speak to him that would be great. The
former ambassador from the United $tates,· the woman., was bad
news �nd th� people she was dealing with in .the Ukraine .were bad
news so I jtist wan� to_let you know that� The ot�er thing,
There's a lot 6f . talk about Biden's son,. that Eiden stopped the
prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so
whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great.
Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if
you ·can look into it... It sounds horrible to me.
