Ukraine's president says in a new interview that he never discussed a "quid pro quo" with President Trump, but criticized any blocking of U.S. security aid for his country at a time when it is at war with Russia.

"I never talked to the president from the position of a quid pro quo. That’s not my thing," Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with Time published Monday.

"I don’t want us to look like beggars. But you have to understand. We’re at war," he said. "If you’re our strategic partner, then you can’t go blocking anything for us. I think that’s just about fairness. It’s not about a quid pro quo. It just goes without saying."

Trump's dealings with Ukraine are at the center of the impeachment inquiry engulfing Washington. Democrats are seeking to make the case that Trump withheld security a*sistance to Ukraine to get that country to announce investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

Has the White House finally given a reason they will proudly stand by as into why the aid was held in the first place?

Just like what we did to puerto rico, before we send aid we make sure the country is doing the right thing with it and is putting an end to corruption

Whats funny is Bernie and Warren saying they will withold aid to Israel to get them to change their stance on west bank settlements

Warren says making Israel aid conditional on settlement building is 'on the table'

“Your IG says that they had taken oversite steps in Puerto Rico,” Velazquez said. “You withheld the money just to Puerto Rico. And you know what? The simple answer to this is: The disdain and contempt of this administration toward the people of Puerto Rico.”

Zelenskiy is now using this whole situation as leverage against trump. Because Ukraine needs the aid, but now he has this over trump's head since trump once again put himself, and America, in a vulnerable spot. People like @ who can't think for themselves don't realize sh*t like this because they're not told to think rationally.

Exactly, Zelensky has leverage he didn’t have prior while at the same time needing what he still needs and that’s for USA to look like it’s strongly allied with Ukraine, so he may have leverage while also squirming because he needs the support more than his leverage. It’s a weird situation

Cringe conspiracy theory

He also didn't actually say there was no quid pro quo.
