Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says he didn’t know military aid from the United States had been held up before a phone call with President Donald Trump that is at the center of an impeachment inquiry.
Zelenskiy told a group of reporters during what his office is calling an “all-day marathon” news conference on October 10 that under the circumstances of the call, “there was no blackmail.”
“I had no idea the military aid was held up. When I did find out, I raised it with [Vice President Mike] Pence at a meeting in Warsaw,” he added.
