WASHINGTON – Ukraine’s role in the U.S. presidential campaign has been more a matter of politics than of policy.
The country of 44 million has had an outsized share of the spotlight in Washington at times – for what many of its citizens might consider the wrong reasons.
The impeachment case against President Donald Trump, who was charged by the Democratic-led House of Representatives but acquitted by the Republican-controlled Senate in February, centered on the allegation that Mr. Trump “used his official powers to pressure” Ukraine’s government to “interfere in a United States election for his personal political gain.”
