Texts released by House investigators show Ukraine believed launching politically-motivated investigations as key to “rebooting” its relationship with the United States
energy company that had Hunter Biden on its board. As they saw it, a “reboot” with America depended on it.
Yermak is working to secure a White House meeting between Zelensky and Trump. But the U.S. officials have made it clear that cannot happen without what they appear to refer to in other texts “the deliverable” — a commitment by Ukraine to engage in election interference by seeking dirt on Trump’s rivals.
But normalization of the relationship between the imperiled Eastern European nation and the U.S. is potentially a thing of even greater value. Ukraine certainly needs lethal weapons to defend itself from its Russian neighbor. But the greater deterrence of Kremlin aggression, arguably, is a public display of backing and allyship by the world’s global military superpower. A friendly public meeting between Trump and Zelensky would send an unmistakable message to Vladimir Putin: Back off.
