Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, has been appointed to the board of directors of Burisma Holdings, a privately-owned natural gas company operating in the Ukraine since the year 2002. Burisma Holdings has become a considerable player within the Ukrainian natural gas and oil industry, with licences covering the Dnieper-Donets, Carpathian and Azov-Kuban basins. The production capability has reached over 10,500 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOEPD) which has left the company with considerable reserves.
Hunter Biden has recently been appointed to the board of directors, from where he will exercise oversight of Burisma’s legal unit. Specifically cited by Burisma as offering support to the company among international groups, Hunter Biden’s clear qualifications for the job may be overshadowed greatly by office of the Vice President of the United States, which is held by his father Joe Biden.
