House Speaker Nancy Pelosi speculated Friday morning that Russia played a significant role in President Donald Trump’s decision to encourage Ukraine to look into former Vice President Joe Biden’s son.
Trump’s decision to suggest Ukraine should investigate Biden’s actions in the Eastern European country is an example of the president’s use of a foreign country to intervene in American elections, Pelosi told MSNBC host Joe Scarborough. The California lawmaker also speculated that Russia was behind the move.

I don't know about what Pelosi says but I was just reading this the other day:
Military aid for Ukraine is good for the US
By: Military Times Editorial
...
The Russian attacks are increasing in frequency and destruction. Ukrainian casualties are mounting.
Ukraine has asked the U.S. to provide military supplies to support their fight against the Russians, but the White House has delayed it.
For the Ukrainian military, and ultimately for the U.S. and other allies who are dealing with Russian aggression, the bottom line is this: Any delay in arms sales has a deleterious effect on Ukraine’s fight.

Okay we have been reviewing foreign aid for a lot of countries, so I don't know about Ukraine specifically but in ways after I read this, I thought, maybe this whole thing could have been avoided if we hadn't delayed the aid in the first place, discussed already in a number of places.
