Hey, petunia, the Ukraine President didn't know the aid was held up so how could that be used to "squeeze" him.
It was never mentioned by Trump.
Another libtardo conspiracy theory down the drain.
Dumbass, OF COURSE Ukrainian president knew that.
Help up aid was the context for the call.
In the conversation (which dupes like you should read for yourself instead of relying on Trump's propaganda) Trump specifically talks about how Ukraine is not reciprocating the generous aid United States is providing and then proceeds to tell Ukranian President who Trump wants investigated.
Direct text from transcript:
Trump: United States has been very very good to Ukraine. I wouldn't say that it's reciprocal necessarily because things are happening that are not good but the United States has been very very good to Ukraine.
Zelenskyy: I would also like to thank you for your great support in the area of defense. We are ready to continue to cooperate for the next steps specifically we are almost. ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes.
Trump: I would like you to do us a favor...I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike... I guess you have one of your wealthy people... The server, they say Ukraine has it.
Zelenskyy: Yes it is very important for me and everything that you just mentioned earlier. For me as a President, it is very important and we are open for any future cooperation.
Trump: Good because I heard you had a prosecutor who was very good and he was shut down and that's really unfair....Mr. Giuliani is a highly respected man...and I would like him to call you. If you could speak to him that would be great. The former ambassador from the United States, the woman, was bad news and the people she was dealing with in the Ukraine were bad news so I just want to let you know that. The other thing, There's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that.

Wrong again, no where in there does Trump mention holding up money. Ukraine didn't know the money was under review.
...wtf?? the Ukraine had big concerns about about Trump admin delaying aid for months:
In the beginning of September, Johnson and Murphy traveled to Ukraine. When they returned, they both talked to Durbin, an Illinois Democrat and vice chairman of the Senate Appropriations Defense Subcommittee, about the need to make sure Ukraine got their money.
"I will tell you who brought it up to me was Ron Johnson," Durbin said. "He came back from Ukraine and said 'we gotta get this money released.' And, I said, 'I'll look into it.' "
Murphy would say later about his time in Ukraine that there had been "near panic" in the country during his trip about whether America was really committed to their relationship in part because of delayed aid.

Your assertion that Ukraine had no idea aid was being held up is just counterfactual nonsense. Why are you peddling this bullshit?
I stand corrected. But thanks for posting this as a confirmation Trump was worried about corruption and we had an agreement with Ukraine to weed out corruption.
Thats just more fantasy. In not a single instance did Trump bring up general corruption concerns on the call. He skipped right on down to talking about his political enemies.
In fact he did the opposite by defending a fired prosecutor who lined his pockets by refusing to posecute cases against wealthy individuals in Ukraine. Prosecutor who's very own deputy quit in protest of this corruption (he was later reinstated to his position by new president Zelenskyy).
Well, good luck trying to find any quid pro quo on Trump. Zelenskyy already stated he was not pressured and no where was money discussed.
Now Biden on the other hand, he's on video bragging about demanding the prosecutor be fired or he wasn't going to give Ukraine a Billion dollars. Now Biden's demanding the lame stream media not book Giuliani as he doesn't want the evidence spattered all over the news.
The damage is done. The leakers will be exposed. Biden will not be the nominee. And the impeachment will energize the Republican base.
And America isn't going to elect one of the down ballot Socialist idiots.
It's all going to come out. The wet dream of impeachment will destroy the Democrats.
