KYIV, Ukraine Ukraine's president said Tuesday that no one explained to him why millions of dollars in U.S. military aid to his country was delayed, shrugging off suggestions that President Donald Trump froze the funding to pressure Ukraine to investigate Democratic rival Joe Biden.
Zelenskiy said that in discussions with Trump, he repeatedly stressed the importance of the U.S. military aid to help Ukraine battle Russian-backed separatists. In the July call, he thanked Trump for his"great support in the area of defense" and said Ukraine was ready to"cooperate for the next steps," according to a rough transcript released by the White House. Zelenskiy didn't say Tuesday whether the issue was raised in other discussions or when they took place.
Zelenskiy is facing a dilemma over how to handle Trump's request in the July call for Ukraine to"look into" the Bidens.
