AMBASSADOR TAYLOR: July 25th is a week after the hold was put on the security assistance. And July 25th, they had a conversation between the two Presidents , where it was not discussed.
MR. RATCLIFFE : And to your knowledge , nobody in the Ukrainian Government was aware of the hold?
AMBASSADOR TAYLOR: That is correct.
MR. RATCLIFFE: Great. Thank you for clarifying.
“Ambassador Sondland did not tell us, and certainly did not tell me, about a connection between the assistance and the investigations,” Prystaiko said, according to Reuters. “You should ask him.”
“I have never seen a direct relationship between investigations and security assistance,” Prystaiko continued. “Yes, the investigations were mentioned, you know, in the conversation of the presidents. But there was no clear connection between these events.”
