KYIV -- The Trump administration has released $250 million in U.S. military aid to Ukraine -- funds that it had held up despite criticism that the money was desperately needed to counter Russian aggression and territorial expansion. The announcement of the aid disbursement came ahead of a Senate Appropriations panel debate on September 12 in which lawmakers from both parties were expected to criticize Trump for holding back the funds, which Congress already had approved. Lawmakers have credited legislation threatened by Democratic Senator Dick Durbin with forcing Trump to hand over the military aid. Several Republican senators, including Trump ally Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, said they would have voted with Democrats. Senator John Kennedy, a Republican from Louisiana, said: "We support Ukraine. Period. End of discussion."

For the past two weeks, Trump and his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani were attempting to extort the new Zelenskyy government of UKraine. Trump was going to sit on $250 million dollars of Congressional funds earmarked for Ukraine unless Kyiv opened up a new investigation against Hunter Biden (Joe Biden's son) who had lived and worked in Ukraine from 2014-2016. After 3 investigations, Hunter Biden was cleared of any wrongdoing by Ukraine's Prosecutor General in 2018.
