"SNIP.....
"We, as I said yesterday, especially since Russian aggression the illegal occupation of Crimea and Russian aggression in Eastern Ukraine the United States has stood strong with Ukraine and we will continue to stand strong with Ukraine for its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
But as President Trump had me make clear, we have great concerns about issues of corruption. And, fortunately, President Zelensky was elected decisively on an anti-corruption message. And he and I discussed yesterday that as hes assembled his cabinet, and as his parliament has convened, that even in the early days, he informed me that there have been more than 250 bills filed for that address the issue of public corruption and really restoring integrity to the public process.
I mean, to invest additional taxpayer in Ukraine, the President wants to be assured that those resources are truly making their way to the kind of investments that will contribute to security and stability in Ukraine. And thats an expectation the American people have and the President has expressed very clearly.
We also talked in some detail about what other European nations are doing for Ukraine. The simple fact is that the United States has carried the load on most of the security investments in Ukraine. And we have been proud to do that, but we believe its time for our European partners to step forward and make additional investments to stand with the people of Ukraine as they assert their territorial integrity and sovereignty."

He's been in on every little dirty deed from the beginning. Pence has tRump's conspiracy all over his hands.
