post-revolutionary environment where they got sucked into american politics before. he was paying paul manafort's tons of money. so imagine how this looks from the ukrainian side of things. here's the new president of ukraine, who it appears is basically being extorted by the u.s. donald trump is essentially trying to get the ukrainian president to do a thing that would be viewed as unacceptable a demerit on the global stage. the president's personal lawyer, rudy giuliani, also admitted he asked ukraine to investigate joe biden. while the united states is putting all this pressure on the ukrainian president to do this corrupt thing for president trump, what hangs in the balance is hundreds of millions of dollars for military aid which the ukraine needs to keep russians at bay. the rest, an additional $140 million being a cherry on top that is not well explained.
