Trump Wrong on European Aid to Ukraine

http://tinyurl.com/y5qloozf
President Donald Trump wrongly said that “Europe and other nations” were “not” contributing to Ukraine, specifically calling for Germany and France to “put up money.” In fact, the European Union and European financial institutions have contributed more than $16.4 billion in grants and loans to Ukraine since 2014.

European countries have contributed an estimated two-thirds of all of the aid to Ukraine since Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 and launched a conflict in the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine, according to Iain King, a visiting fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

As for individual bilateral support, from 2014 to 2017, Germany contributed 786.5 million euros (about $860 million), according to a database maintained by the European Commission, and cited by CSIS. That database gets its figures from what’s reported to OECD and the International Aid Transparency Initiative.

The bilateral assistance from France was much smaller. The European Commission database shows nearly 62 million euros ($68 million) total from 2014 to 2017. Press Counselor Mélanie Rosselet at the French Embassy in Washington, D.C., told us France’s assistance to Ukraine “goes mainly through our contribution to the EU budget,” adding that France was the second-largest contributor to that budget. Germany is the largest contributor.

A French government fact sheet on its position regarding Ukraine says it contributed 600,000 euros in humanitarian aid in 2018 and struck an agreement this year with Ukraine to build a new water treatment plant.

We have witnessed a miracle today.
An impeachment case that was iron clad & air tight has been demolished like it has gone thru a paper shredder, or bathed in a vat of acid.

Bravo! In under two hours, Trump's legal team mounted a masterful introductory defense, exposing the utter hypocrisy and mendacity of the pseudo-impeachment the Dems launched against the President, demonstrating there was never a case to bring.

They pointed out a slew of instances where the Dem managers conveniently omitted key facts that completely contradicted their accusations.

They made it clear that the President was never given due process during their faux impeachment process, thus no reason to cooperate at any point.

Best of all, they used Schiff's own words to indict his supposed ability to read minds and between the lines. The man is a fraud and rightly afraid to be confronted. Too bad they won't impeach him, and Nancy.
