Why aid was held up?
Did any Ukranians die because of any hold up?
I thought Volker have a pretty sound reasons why the aid was held up including the corruption.
I too would like to know if any Ukranians died because of delay in release the aid approved by Congress. I was doing some research on the Kurd situation in northern Syria, and one article I found, in addition to saying that Russia was the big winner in our pull-out, also said that around 250 Kurdish fighters had been killed, and about 300,000 civilians had fled because of the Turkish/Russian incursion. Elsewhere is information that hundreds or perhaps more ISIS fighters have escaped as a result.
As a result of other research I think I now understand why President Trump was so eager to get rid of Amb. Yovanovitch. Turkey is very sensitive about criticism for their “Armenian Genocide” from 1915 to 1919. Yovanovitch had been Ambassador to Armenia from 2008 to 2011. While she avoided using the inflammatory Armenian Genocide description, she did say that a lot of very bad stuff had happened because of Turkish actions. So, if President Trump was going to make nice with Turkey and Russia, then Yovanovitch had to go. I don’t know if it was ironic or carefully planned to have Erdogan visiting the White House the same day as Yovanovitch was testifying. See article below.
