Of course: Lutsenko is unnamed Ukrainian who plotted to oust Marie Yovanovitch nbcnews.com/politics/justi… via @nbcnews
The unnamed Ukrainian official referenced in a federal indictment as directing a plot to oust the then-U.S. ambassador is Ukraine's former chief prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko, according to a U.S. official familiar with the events.
According to the source, Lutsenko is the Ukrainian official who prosecutors say urged two associates of Rudy Giuliani to push for the removal of Marie Yovanovitch, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine who was forced out in May.

Today's stunning indictment against Giuliani associates Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman demonstrates that #Russia remains a player behind the current Trump/Ukraine scandal. The same networks that linked Paul Manafort to Russia are on display here. washingtonpost.com/politics/two-b…
Today's indictment claims a Russian businessman ("Foreign National 1") covertly channeled dark money into the U.S. election system through shell companies and cutouts ("straw donors") associated with Parnas, Fruman and their co-conspirators.
washingtonpost.com/context/u-s-vs…
This dark money was reportedly channeled to a pro-Trump Super PAC, America First Action, & also to TX Rep Pete Sessions. Together with Parnas and Fruman, Sessions lobbied Mike Pompeo to remove US Ambassador Masha Yovanovitch before the end of her term. texastribune.org/2019/10/10/pet…

New York Times report from May on Biden, Ukraine and Burisma Holdings:

"No evidence has surfaced that the former vice president intentionally tried to help his son by pressing for the prosecutor general’s dismissal.”

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
NYT - Hunter Biden was warned by associates who had experience in Ukraine to stay away from Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma Holdings, who had worked in the government of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
Zlochevsky faced multiple internal/external investigations for money laundering, Yanukovych-era corruption, tax evasion and the granting of gas licenses.

It is unclear if/how seriously Ukraine’s fmr. prosecutor general Viktor Shokin investigated Burisma.
