Don't fall for left-wing propaganda. The impeachment was all about politics, the "withholding military aid" was just a convenient excuse.
The actual fact is, Trump provided way more military aid to Ukraine than e.g. Obama.

Either way though, the crimean invasion happen 6 years into Obama's term. Not surprising that Trump gave them more aid.
