"“We never had that feeling,” Andriy Yermak, a top adviser to the President of Ukraine, told Time magazine when asked about whether Ukraine felt any pressure from the White House."
"He then commented on the widely publicized House hearings."
"“Of course, now, when I watch these shows on television, my name often comes up, and I see people there whom I recognize, whom I met and know,” he said, referring to the witness testimony. “That is their personal opinion, especially the positions they expressed while under oath. I have my own truth. I know what I know.”"
"Yermak disputed a claim from U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, who testified before the House Intelligence Committee that he met with Yermak in Poland."
"“Gordon [Sondland] and I were never alone together,” he said about the alleged Warsaw meeting. “We bumped into each other in the hallway next to the escalator, as I was walking out.”"
"Several members of the U.S. and Ukrainian delegations were near. “And I remember—everything is fine with my memory—we talked about how well the meeting went. That’s all we talked about,” Yermak added."
"Sondland’s lawyer told Time that the ambassador “stands by his prior testimony and will not comment further.”"
