OpenLayer 6.3.1 problem displaying GeoJson data on the map

Question

I have problem with openlayer geojson. I'm trying to display data in the map, but nothing I try works.

What do I need to change to display the data on the map?

code:

 var map = new Map({
  controls: defaultControls().extend([
    new FullScreen()
  ]),
  interactions: defaultInteractions().extend([
    new DragRotateAndZoom()
  ]),
  target: 'map',
  view: new View({
    center: [32.2128100772116, -7.92209407500733],
    zoom: 5
  }),
});

var vectorSource = new VectorSource({
  features: (new GeoJSON()).readFeatures(this.geojsonObject)
});

var vectorLayer = new VectorLayer({
  source: vectorSource,
  visible: true
});
this.map.addLayer(vectorLayer);

geoJson data:

geojsonObject = {
'type': 'Feature',
'geometry': {
  'type': 'MultiPolygon',
  'coordinates': [

    [[
      [
        33.3984375,
        37.16031654673677
      ],
      [
        -11.25,
        27.68352808378776
      ],
      [
        14.765625,
        -10.833305983642491
      ],
      [
        48.515625,
        5.61598581915534
      ],
      [
        58.00781249999999,
        28.92163128242129
      ],
      [
        48.515625,
        37.43997405227057
      ],
      [
        33.3984375,
        37.16031654673677
      ]
    ]]
  ]
}
};

Specify `projection: 'EPSG:4326',` in the view options (unless you require a different projection in which case you must transform the center and feature geometries) — Mike, Jul 03 '20 at 12:03

As Mike indicated in his comment, you need to add projection: 'EPSG:4326', in the view options.

  var map = new Map({
    controls: defaultControls().extend([
      new FullScreen()
    ]),
    interactions: defaultInteractions().extend([
      new DragRotateAndZoom()
    ]),
    target: 'map',
    view: new View({
      projection: 'EPSG:4326',
      center: [32.2128100772116, -7.92209407500733],
      zoom: 2
    }),
  });

html,
body {

  margin: 0px;

.map {
  height: 70%;
  width: 100%;

  var vectorSource = new ol.source.Vector({ // VectorSource({

  map.addLayer(vectorLayer);
