Here is the president of Ukraine, not only saying that they are looking into the corruption involving the gas company and the state prosecutor who was dismissed, but also asking for assistance and information from the U.S. to do so. If Zelenskyy is being extorted here, he sure sounds agreeable. The Dems are arguing that by President Trump merely mentioning the issue, he is making an 'implied threat,' but that is a very subjective and partisan interpretation, especially if Zelenskyy makes a statement to the contrary.
President Zelenskyy: I guarantee as the President of Ukraine that all the investigations will be done openly and candidly... That I can assure you. I wanted to tell you about the prosecutor. First of all, I understand and I'm knowledgeable about the situation. Since we have won the absolute majority in our Parliament, the next prosecutor general will be 100% my person, my candidate, who will be approved, by the parliament and will start as a new prosecutor in September. He or she will look into the situation, specifically to the company that you mentioned in this issue. The issue of the investigation of the case is actually the issue of making sure to restore the honesty so we will take care of that and will work on the investigation of the case. On top of that, I would kindly ask you if you have any additional information that you can provide to us, it would be very helpful for the investigation to make sure that we administer justice in our country with regard to the Ambassador to the United States from Ukraine as far as I recall her name was Ivanovich. It was great that you were the first one who told me that she was a bad ambassador because I agree with you 100%. Her attitude towards me was far from the best as she admired the previous President and she was on his side. She would not accept me as a new President well enough.
