A senior Russian official has accused Joe Biden of provoking the war in Ukraine to conceal alleged corruption involving his family.

Kirill Dmitriev, who serves as Russian President Vladimir Putin’s special envoy on international economic and investment cooperation, made the claim in a statement to reporters and in a series of posts on X on Monday.

Dmitriev said Biden’s actions as president contributed to the escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which began in February 2022, and alleged that the motivation was tied to his family’s financial interests in the region.

Dmitriev stated, “Former U.S. President Joe Biden provoked the war in Ukraine to cover up his family’s corruption.”

Dmitriev has been the chief executive officer of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, Russia’s sovereign wealth fund, since 2011.

In February of this year, he was appointed as Putin’s special envoy on international economic and investment cooperation.

His remarks followed reports that Biden allegedly intervened to suppress a Central Intelligence Agency report related to his family’s dealings in Ukraine.

According to Dmitriev, the report contained findings about financial connections between members of the Biden family and Ukrainian business interests.

He further claimed that Biden’s team pressured Ukrainian officials to remove individuals who had uncovered evidence of alleged wrongdoing.

Dmitriev shared multiple posts on X referencing what he described as long-standing knowledge of the Biden family’s activities in Ukraine.

One of the posts included a resurfaced message originally published five years ago, which he said showed that information about Biden’s alleged involvement in Ukrainian corruption had been known internationally for years.

The allegations by Dmitriev come amid continued scrutiny of Biden’s family business activities in Ukraine and other countries.

Hunter Biden, the former president’s son, has faced legal and congressional investigations in the United States concerning his foreign business dealings and tax matters.

While U.S. officials have not publicly commented on Dmitriev’s specific statements, the claims have drawn renewed attention to previous discussions about the former president’s role in Ukrainian affairs during his time in office.

The Russian Direct Investment Fund, which Dmitriev leads, has been sanctioned by the United States and its allies since 2022 for its connections to the Russian government.

Dmitriev’s appointment as Putin’s envoy earlier this year expanded his responsibilities to include coordination of economic initiatives with foreign nations and representation of Russia’s financial interests in global forums.

The remarks from one of Russia’s top financial officials mark the latest in a series of statements by Russian leaders criticizing Biden’s handling of U.S.-Russia relations and his approach to the conflict in Ukraine.

Dmitriev’s comments suggest that Moscow intends to continue framing the war as a product of Western political manipulation rather than Russian aggression.

Dmitriev concluded his public remarks by reiterating his claim that the “truth is coming out” about the Biden family’s actions in Ukraine, signaling that Russian officials may continue releasing additional allegations as part of ongoing diplomatic and information exchanges with Western nations.
