KIEV, UKRAINE - OCTOBER 02: The golden domes of St. Sophia's Cathedral stand in the city center on October 02, 2019 in Kiev, Ukraine. Ukraine has found itself at the core of a political storm in U.S. politics since the release of a whistleblower's complaint suggesting U.S. President Donald Trump, at the expense of U.S. foreign policy, pressured Ukraine to investigate Trump's rival, Joe Biden, and Biden's son, Hunter. While the story is dominating U.S. news and political discourse in the United States, in Ukraine it is receiving limited attention, with lawmakers and the public more focused on domestic issues, including the ongoing war in Donbas.
