Ukrainian crisis
Between 2009 and 2013,
including when Mrs. Clinton was secretary of state, the Clinton Foundation
received at least $8.6 million from the Victor Pinchuk Foundation, according to
that foundation, which is based in Kiev, Ukraine. It was created by Mr.
Pinchuk, whose fortune stems from a pipe-making company. He served two terms as an
elected member of the Ukrainian Parliament and is a proponent of closer ties
between Ukraine and the European Union.
In 2008, Mr. Pinchuk made a
five-year, $29 million commitment to the Clinton Global Initiative, a wing of
the foundation that coordinates charitable projects and funding for them but
doesn’t handle the money. The pledge was to fund a program to train future
Ukrainian leaders and professionals “to modernize Ukraine,” according to the
Clinton Foundation.
