Why don't LibDerps never want to understand why the previous Ukrainian regime tried to kiss and make-up almost immediately after Trump got elected?
well they are at war with Russia and in need of US military support to not be overran
the new president was the choice of Moscow who received the support of a considerable influence campaign from the Kremlin
maybe, just maybe (hear me out) they were nervous that the new President may show preferrence to Moscow over Kiev
. . .and maybe (well not maybe) they knew that Trump knew that they were working with the Clinton Campaign.

Or are you talking about Zelinksky, if so (Why are you always so far behind the curve?)

Russia’s effort was personally directed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, involved the country’s military and foreign intelligence services, according to U.S. intelligence officials. They reportedly briefed Trump last week on the possibility that Russian operatives might have compromising information on the president-elect. And at a Senate hearing last week on the hacking, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said “I don't think we've ever encountered a more aggressive or direct campaign to interfere in our election process than we've seen in this case.”
There’s little evidence of such a top-down effort by Ukraine. Longtime observers suggest that the rampant corruption, factionalism and economic struggles plaguing the country — not to mention its ongoing strife with Russia — would render it unable to pull off an ambitious covert interference campaign in another country’s election. And President Petro Poroshenko’s administration, along with the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington, insists that Ukraine stayed neutral in the race.
