Ukrainian officials did not contact U.S. officials about security
assistance until this story appeared in POLITICO on August 28, 2019.
It had not been discussed in any of several recent, high-level
diplomatic meetings.

President Zelenskyy and his aides definitively did not know
about a pause on Ukraine security assistance at the time of
the July 25 phone call.
There is no link between security assistance and investigations.

There can’t be a threat without the person knowing they are
being threatened.
There can’t be a quid pro quo without the quo.
