came out today that doesn t hold up. the new york times reported that president zelensky and those around him were aware of what the president was asking of him and were really caught in the middle between needing to defend themselves regarding russia invading and some 13,000 of their troops already having been killed and following through with the u.s. not wanting to interfere with u.s. elections. that s of course what many of our difficults weplomats were t to do. again, the a.p. reported that on may 7th, right after zelensky was elected and a few weeks before his inauguration, he had a staff meeting with some of his top aides and he was made aware even then that there was concern about joe biden and investigating his son and the 2016 election coming from the trump administration. so that argument fell flat today, and i m sure we re going to be getting more reporting as the weeks and days span out. bianna is absolutely right,
