Donald Trump views Ukraine as 'adversary, not ally', claim witnesses in impeachment probe

Firstpost  

Behind closed doors, President Donald Trump has made his views on Ukraine clear, ‘They tried to take me down.’ Washington: Behind closed doors, President Donald Trump has made his views on Ukraine clear: “They tried to take me down.” The president, according to people familiar with testimony in the House impeachment investigation, sees the Eastern European ally, not Russia, as responsible for the interference in the 2016 election that was investigated by special counsel Robert Mueller. Trump’s embrace of an alternative view of Ukraine suggests the extent to which his approach to Kyiv — including his request, now central to the impeachment inquiry, that the Ukraine president do him a “favour” and investigate Democrats — was coloured by a long-running, unproven conspiracy theory that has circulated online and in some corners of conservative media. “It was apparent to all of us that the key to changing President Trump’s mind on Ukraine was Mr Giuliani.” House Democrats launched the impeachment inquiry after a whistleblower filed a complaint that included Trump’s July call with Zelenskiy. Last week, Trump’s acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, acknowledged that Trump essentially engaged in a quid pro quo in seeking Zelenskiy’s help in exchange for military aid the White House was withholding from Ukraine.
