i certainly will let him know

Thanks-for your helpHKurt

Kurt will you please get out a statement that State
connected me to Yermak and i reported back to
State on my conversations. Yermak has talked about
this to Press so it?s now public information. All I?m
asking is to tell the truth. can send you text chain if
you need to check your recollection.

Also have Sondland inform Pompeo he can say State
connected me with Ukraine official and was aware of
it.

 

Hi Rudy sorry for delay just spoke Secretary
Pompeo wanted to be sure we are coordinated.
We have a statement from Aug 22 that makes clear
it was coordinated -- indeed, that i made the
connection between you and Yermak.

[9/29/19, 9:93:31 Bill Taylor: 9o 1 want to enterthis non-normalworld?

[9/29/19. 9:99:91 Kurt Volker: 9espite everything, 1 leel like we have moved the ball substantially iorward overthe last 2 years. 1think it is worth it to continue to keep 
[9/29/19. 9:19:19 Kurt Volker: And just checked Sondland. who said Mulvaney told him today it iswith 

[9/11/19. 4:99:39 Kurt Volker: Hi bill Perry, Sondland and 1 had a good call Bolton yesterday. He is going to get a date visit maybe lateJuly - and aiso ask about 999919 visit to
KyivAll good. Best - Kurt

[9/11/19, 4:29.41 Bill Taylor: Excellent -- thanks, Kurtl am hoping to meet AMB Sondland, maybe in Brussels on my way to Kyiv.

[9/11/19, 4:99:93 Kurt Volker: Bood idea!

[9/12/19. 7:99:49 Bill Taylor: Can you introduce me to AMB Sondland? i looked to see it 1 could see him in Brussels on theway to Kyiv. but it lookslike that won't work. lwill try to get there
sometime soon or see him in Kyiv.

[9/14/19. 4:43:39 Kurt Volker: Hi Bill are you in 99 now? We should take a picture together!

[9/14/19. 4:43:49 Kurt Volker: Then can tweet when you are in Kyiv

[9/19/19. 2:29:12 Bill Taylor: Kurt, what's the view ot Kobolyev among the three at you?

[9/19/19. 9:97:29 KurtVolker: Hi bill! 1 think Perry is the most negative sees him as obstructing both the upstream and opening up oi the market. Perry also wants 2
senior US energy industry people on an expanded board.

[9/19/19. 9:97:99 Kurt Volker: Bordon shares this view - but maybe a little less negative,

[9/19/19, 9:99:13 Kurt Volker. I remember Nattogaz before the reform. so 1 know did a lot of good. But now he needs to get behind even more ambitious relorm. He is capable o1 doing it.
but he needs to be committed to

It.

[9/19/19, 9:19:92 Kurt Volker: - hope the testimony went over well - kv

[9/19/19. 11:94:29 Bill Taylor: Kurt, 1 am getting the same thing out here -- stilling private investment. Will look loryourtestimony

[9/29/19, 11:31.19 Bill Taylor: Doyouthink Bordon saw my note asking him for helpwith the meeting date and the delegation to Independence Bay?

[9/29/19, 2:39:93 Bill Taylor: At a dinnerthis evening. Klimkin advised you to engage Ze in Toronto "on an emotional level." He was at pains to emphasize how important isthe US role right
here, right now. You have to play it right, he said. The Russians are clever.

[9/29/19. 2:47:13 Kurt Volker: Hi he is religious about checking messages so am sure he did. Bot the point on Ze ?will do my best - any thoughts about "emotions?"

[9/29/19. 2:49:21 Bill Taylor: 1 am checking that suggestion with Pr?ystalko.

[9/29/19. 11:39:99 Bill Taylor: Are you telling Bhris about the call?

or another. in any investigations? lwould like to talk about it -- what's a good time foryou today?

[7/3/13. 3:12:25 Bill Taylor: let'stalktoday. 1 will be asking to see 3ohdan (probably with Vadym) to try to nail down this end of the phone call. They didn't say that they were on board for
the call when you talked to them in Toronto?

[7/3/13. 3:12:33 Kurt Volker: Hi bill - 1 can call around 3:33/3:43 dc time of ok?

[7/3/13, 3:14:35 Kurt Volker: Zelensky was on board bogdan was skeptical. Worried that a call substitutes for a visit. I pulled the two ofthem aside at the end and explainedthe Giuliani

[7/13/13. 11:33:45 Bill Taylor: 3n yourtrip. Vadym asks what you want to see in the east -- the bridge? the Mariopoi district? The latter is of course easierto get to. He also wondered
about the president's participation.

[5/11/15, 2:15:15 Kurt Volker: Spoke Etienne on Friday and have joint Flt/55 SVTE Monday. Parts hoping forN4 summit (at 5K5 request) in mid September

[5/11/15, 2:21:55 5111 Taylor: 1 like the bilateral Ukraine-Russia process with the Ukrainians coordinating with us. Not clear to me what the Germans and French bring.

[5/11/15, 2:25:45 KurtVolker: Yes - assuming there are things to do ?arrive on 25rd early evening and depart 25th early morning. Any sense on what they are planning?

[5/15/15. 15:55:55 5111 Taylor: Kurt, we are meeting with Honcharuk and leabshapka on Thursday to get their thoughts on de-oligarchization. We may want to enlist the reform-minded 5-7
to this effort. Clearly this has to be Ukrainian-owned forit to have a chance. You are 511 on all this?

[5/15/15, 15:11:15 Kurt Volker: Yes - all good. Would it be possible to arrange a follow up with 57 (with or sequentially with or Hyabshapka) on 24th?

5/15/15. 7:51:15 Kurt Volker: Yes - but don't cite him.

5111 Taylor: I won't. You are right --this is not good. We need to stay clear.

5/15/15. 7:55:55 Kurt Volker:Were you able to discover if we have ever asked for an investigation. or what it would take to do so?

5/15/15. 7:57:45 5111 Taylor: dust landed back in Kyiv. En route back to the embassy.

[5/25/15, 12:55:57 5111 Taylor: let's ask Yermakto stay after the dinner. Most 13-? ambassadors are not in town, both turnover and leave. 1 can see if Honcharuk is available.
[5/25/15. 11:14:55 5111 Taylor: Honcharuk can meet us after the president's reception. What about a dinner with the embassy team working on de-oligarking?

PAS is suggesting skipping the Sunday press engagements because of the 57/5 comments and the NYT article. Thoughts?

[5/22/15. 4:55:45 Kurt Volker: 1 think 1 can handle those might even be useful. But let's decide tomorrow or Saturday. Things always seem to change

[5/27/15, 5:55:55 5111 Taylor: Bolton is pretty sure the meeting in Warsaw will happen. Wants to judge the dynamics of that meeting first. That one will be short:

Office of Management and Budget

Washington, DC. 20007

Dear Director Mulvaney:

As members of the tat-partisan Ukraine Caucus we write to express our deep concerns of reports
that the Administration is considering not obligating the Ukraine Security Initiative funds for

2019.

This body has long advocated for increasing the military capacity and capabilities of Ukrainema
?edgling democracy that is pro-West and pro-United States, and since 2014 has been under
increased military, political and economic pressure from Russia.

The funds designated for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative are vital to the long term
viability of the Ukrainian military. It has helped Ukraine develop the independent military
capabilities and skills necessary to fend off the Kremlinis continued onslaughts within its
territory. in fact, Ukraine continues to tight daily on its eastern border against Russia~backed
separatists in the provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk, and over 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers and
civilians have lost their lives in this war. U.S.?funded security assistance has already helped turn
the tide in this conflict, and it is necessary to ensure the protection of the sovereign territory of
this young country, going forward. This is not only critical from a security perspective, but it is
the only way for Ukrainians to continue their progress toward reforming and defending their
country?s democratic institutions. In this way, we are helping Ukraine to one day become a net
assistance provider, and not just a recipient.

We have worked hard in a bi-partisan manner in the Senate to provide funding for a security
assistance program for Ukraine that is efiective, transparent and fiscally responsible. This
?mding is crucial to the long term stability of Ukraine and has the continued backing and
approvai of the US. Congress which appropriated these funds. We strongly urge you to direct
the Department ofDefensc to obiigate these funds immediately.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

15/15/15. 5:12:14 Bordon Sondland: This message was deleted,

15/15/15, 5:13:31 Bordon Sondland: 551. thanks furjoining us on the call yesterday. This is a great team working together in support of the Ukranian people. 1 look forward to meeting you in
person soon. All the best, Bordon

Bill Taylor: Thanks. 5ordun -- a very productive call. We are working on several of the actions and will keep you posted on progress. Bill

[5/24/15. 3:51:31 Bill Taylor: Bordonyou can break through on two key issues: a date from the White House forthele visit and a senior lead for a delegation to Ky iv for their Independence Day parade and
celebration on August 24. The date forthe visit is urgent. The 555 has not been able get a date (many are traveling. of course). Two years ago Secretary Mattie came for Independence Day; last
yearAmbassador Bolton. Secretary Pompeu can't make it. The Vice President? Many thanks

[5/25/15. 3:45:43 Bill Taylor: Bordon.

You might not have seen the message from Beorge Kent on the high side that tells us that senior levels atthe 155 said that the visit is not happening any time soon. Very discouraging. Any
chance you can turn this around? If not, 1 don't think a senior call with the Ukrainians on friday as your staff is suggesting makes sense. (Plus it's a Ukrainian holiday -- Constitution Day.) Your
thoughts?

[5/25/15. 3:45:33 KurtVolker: let's have an internal call Friday three of us plus Secretary Perry. - Kurt

[5/25/15. 3:55:13 Bordon isVindman and is being fixed. Agree Kurt, lets talk fri

[5/25/15, 3:51:54 Bill Taylor: Good idea.

[5/22/15, 7:13:33 Bill Taylor: 5ordun. is this fixed? lfwe have a date for the meeting. 1 am glad to ask Ukrainianstu talktu us tomorrow on their Boostitution holiday. If we don't yet
have a date, 1 am reluctant and agree with Kurt that the call tomorrow should bejust Americans. Thoughts?

[5/27/15. 7:53:52 Bordon Sondland: Just Americans tomorrow. Give me a call when can on this line

[5/27/15. 5:45:52 Bill Taylor: Bailing now

7/23/13. 1:43:33 Kurt Volker: Yes - good
7/23/13. 2:27:34 311 Taylor: 3a l now?
[7/21/13, 1:45:54 3111 Taylor: Gordon, one thing Kurt and I talked about yesterday was Sasha 3anyliuk's point that President is sensitive about Ukraine being taken seriously. not
merely as an instrument in Washington domestic, reelection politics.
[7/21/13, 4:45:44 Bordon Sundland: Absolutely, but we need to get the conversation started and the relationship built. irrespective of the pretext. lam worried about the alternative.
[7/21/13. 5:21:47 Bill Taylor: So, the call tomorrow can be a positive step.
[7/22/13, 12:15:55 EillTaylor: 3ood, pretty long meeting -- both une-on-one and with Buhdan. Sasha. Yermak, Razumkuv -- with the president at his campaign headquarters last night.
Interested in both the call and meating.l couldn?t be specific.
[7/22/13, 12:17:13 3111 Taylor: Sounds like Washington is thinking about a congratulatory call in the next couple of days Kuppermau wrote asking when the results will be known.
[7/22/13, 12:23:53 Bill Taylor: Very good election result and us. likely a young, Western-oriented prime minister. Ze likely in coalition with Vakarchuk (with whom I have met
one-un-one twice in the last three days).
[7/22/13, 12:22:31 Bordon Sondland: So Monday call wasjust rumor?
[7/22/13. 12:23:22 3111 Taylor: Doesn't sound like from either side that it was actually scheduled.
[7/22/13. 3:33:35 Kurt Volker: Yermak thinks [Tall is at 3pm Kiev today. 3111- any idea? Shouldl call sitroom?
[7/22/13, 3:43:33 Bordon Sundland: 3ood idea
[7/22/13, 3:42:33 Bill Taylor: Tim Morrisonjust told me it's not on today and 1 should tell Danyliuk that they will schedule through him shortly.
[7/22/13, 3111 Taylor: 1 have told Sasha (and Yadym).
17/22/13. 3111 Taylor: Don?t you think we should work through Sasha?
17/22/13. 3:43:33 Kurt Volker: Yes -- you've got the latest. That's good. Sasha.And great they will schedule thru danylyuk. Keep us posted what you hear.
[7/22/13. 3:43:13 Kurt Volker: I'll tell Yermak same thing
[7/22/13. 3111 Taylor: Excellent.Will do
[7/23/13, 4:13:41 Bill Taylor: NSC is trying to schedule the call for Thursday. 1 am checking with Sasha to see if that works forthem.

[7/24/13. 3urdon Sondland:Vey
[7/24/13. 2:53:33 3111 Taylor: 1s right. Also, some question about which day to go east. which to stay here for meetings. 3n the call. it sounds like the 1133 is on board with the call and are
just trying to get it scheduled. Nut final but shooting for friday.1 am waiting to hear if friday works for the Ukrainians.
[7/24/13, 2:57:25 Kurt Volker: Great. 1'11 go east on whichever day in order to accommodate fine either way

[7/24/13. 3:33:25 Kurt Volker: Have just boarded in Zurich en route to Vienna

[7/24/13, 3:53:52 Bill Taylor: The call is not yet scheduled -- N33 trying for Friday. Zelensky traveling on Friday. they prefer Thursday. wants our meeting and the PUTUS call on
Thursday, trip to the East on Friday. That doesn't work Foryou. 3ordon.

[7/24/13. 4:33:15 Kurt Volker: We should do what works forZe on Kyiv/S-l schedule, Most impt thing is that potus call happens no matter what day. 7

[7/24/13, 3:13:33 Bill Taylor: Stillwaiting on: word From NSC on the phone call tomorrow. President will be here on Friday morning if you two wanted to schedule a meeting with
him then. That would. however. make the trip to the East with difficult.

[7/24/13, 3:23:33 3ordon Sondland: My primary objective is Zelensky. Friday morning is great

[7/24/13. 3:24:13 Bill Taylor: But it. Kurt?

[7/24/13, 13:33:55 Kurt Volker: 3ordon - can you get there in time for a Thursday meeting? lthink it is important to see the conflict area and the people affected by it and in doing.
reinforce zelensky's substantive efforts.

[7/24/13. 13:33:23 Bill Taylor: There is a report --from Vadym via an irritated Sasha -- that the phone call could happen at? tomorrow evening our time. Tim Morrison is trying to
confirm.

[7/24/13, 13:41:37 Kurt Volker: That's great! Why are they irritated? They are getting the date they asked for.

17/24/13. 13:41:47 Kurt Volker: Also 3ordon just called and danylyuk said meeting wpresident is confirmed forllam Friday so we should keep the trip east on Thursday
[7/24/13, 2:33:43 Bill Taylor: The phone call is now confirmed fortomorrow at 13:33 Kyiv time. We are planning the trip to the East afterthe meeting on Friday morning.

[7/27/13. 7:23:53 Bill Taylor: Thanks for getting him on message. 3ordon. This is why you are the US ambassador to Europe.

[3/1/13, 3:54:13 Kurt Volker: Hi bill what's the status on dates? Thanks

[3/1/13, 13:34:23 3ordon Sondland: for flagging. 3111, 3' office getting conflicting info. Did the WH formally offer dates for Ze's consideration.

[3/1/13, 13:42:45 Bill Taylor: WH offered three windows: the weeks of September 3. 13 and 33. The Ukrainians want to make one trip, so eitherthe week before UN3A or the week after. Ball
is back in Tim's court.

33/1/13. 11:33:57 Kurt Volker: Thanks! I'm seeing Tim tomorrow and will ask. lguessthe week of 13th in this case makes most sense. A shame not to do it 3 weeks 
[3/1/13, 11:33:47 3111 Taylor: Yes. but let Tim handle it!

[3/1/13. 11:37:21 Kurt Volker: 31 course!

[3/1/13, 11:37:45 3ordon Sondland: This team works like a Swiss Watch 0

[3/1/13. 11:33:23 Kurt Volker: 3r a takes a licking and keeps on 

[3/1/13. 11:53:23 3111 Taylor: I know about the licking part

[3/3/13, 3:27:23 3111 Taylor: Standing by to hear from Tim who had hoped to have a date by yesterday.

[3/3/13, 3:34:31 Bill Taylor: 3n anothertopic, WE just met a stalfdel from the Senate Armed Services Committee. Very supportive. But also very concerned that the message on Ukraine in
Washington is neutral at best and negative in many spheres -- the Russian message: Ukraine is lost, totally corrupt, beyond saving not worth investing in. Makes these staffers' jobs harder 
increase military support to Ukraine. (They had heard about the proposed pause in security assistance to Ukraine.) Kurt, we may need Steve Hadley to reengage.

[3/3/13. 11:13:53 3ordon Sondland: have a sec call wTim Mon. Sounds like bad news. Kurt. call 11 Li have a secthx

[3/3/13, 1:33:17 Kurt Volker: Hi all - 3ordon will call in a bit had a long talk wTim on Friday. Seeing steve on Thursday. We just keep working 

[3/4/13. 3:52:33 3111 Taylor: 1 just talked toTim secure. He's looking forward to talking with you, 3ordon. tomorrow. Kurt is right --work to do.

[3/3/13. 4:15:13 Bill Taylor: Nowthat we have all three talked with Tim. what's our strategy?

[3/3/13. 7:33:55 Kurt Volker: Keep 

Kurt Volker: Formally, WH asked for a preference on weekfrom ukraine. and ukraine responded?

[3/3/13. 7:32-35 Kurt Volker: There should be a paper going up that seeks a decision based on that. no?

[3/3/13, 7:57:32 Bill Taylor: Ukraine responded saying that they want to plan one trip, so the week before UNUA or the week after works. The week of September 3 doesn't. But my
conversation withTim on Sunday did not fill me with hope that they will agree on a date any time soon unless. Tim said. "3ordon turns it around."

[3/3/13. 7:53:21 Bill Taylor: 3ordon. you talked toTim yesterday. right? lsthat your sense? (Tim actually said, "Unless 3ordon turns it around like he did with the phone call."
[3/3/13. 3:27:12 Bill Taylor: So. Kurt. 1 don't think a paper is going up -- at least as of Sunday.

[3/3/13, 13:11:17 Kurt Volker: That does sound 

[3/3/13, 13:27:34 3ordon Sondland: Tim and 1 had to bump secure till Thurs morning. 1 am working the problem however

Bordon Sondland added you

Gordon Sondland: Buys, multiple convos with Ze, Potus. Lets talk

ll:?l:41 Bill Taylor: Now is line with me

11:25.13 Kurt Volker: Try again could not hear

ll:4[l:ll Bill Taylor: Gordon and 1 just spoke. I can briel you if you and Gordon don't conneet

12:37:28 Bill Taylor: The nightmare is they give the interview and don't get the security assistance. The Russians love it. (And I quit.)

5:01:15 KurtVolker: I?m not in the loop. Talk Monday?

12:15:42 Bordon Sondland: Ball at your convenience or let me know a good time. lam in Brussels

KurtVolker:Will do - just getting started here in Georgia - will step out and call in an hour or so a thanks!

[El/El/ll], Bill Taylor; The message to the Ukrainians (and Russians) we send with the decision on security assistance is key. With the hold. we have already shaken theirlaith in us.
Thus my nightmare scenario.

[9/9/13 1223411111114] Bill Taylor: Eounting on you to be right about this interview. Bordon.

[5/51/15]. 12:37:15 Gordon Sondland: never said 1 was "right". said we are where we are and believe we have identified the best pathway lorward lets hope it works.

12:47:11 Bill Taylor: As I said on the phone. i think it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign.

[3/3/13. 5:13:35 Gordon Sondland: Hill. I believe you are incorrect about President Trump?s intentions. The President has been clear: no quid pro quo's of any kind. The President is
trying to evaluate whether Ukraine is truly going to adopt the transparency and reforms that President Zelensky promised during his campaign. I suggest we stop the back and forth by text. If
you still have concerns. I recommend you give lisa Kenna MS a call to discussthem directly. Thanks.

5:47:09 Bill Taylor: I agree

[7/1/13, 2:43:27 Kurt Volker: Hi Vadym. At the airport heading up to Toronto. Please tell the president 1 was unhappy to see the media link my comments about sakharova's claims on
sailors with Klimkin's behavior, 1 was responding directly to Russian MFA claims before Klimkin had said anything. and of course 1 did not know that Klimkin would do so in a way that undercuts
Zelensky. lf 1 can help to reframe this in any way to help Zelensky, let me know. See you later - best -1(urt

[7/4/13, Kurt Volker: Thanks for everything. What isyourtake on our meeting, and the visit overall?

[7/4/13. 1:33:54 PMlVadym thankyou. it was important contact. 1 must admit, I felt that you sugarcoated a message on avisit. 3r the message 1 got earlier was not correct. the visit
went well - he isfa st learner and adopts constantly. frankly, this one was expectedly easy and friendly. Will introduce him to a tougher ones gradually. What was your reading?

Con?dential KV00000054

[7/4/15 1:52:44 Kurt Volker: I wanted to make sure he knew we are supporting him and his stated commitment to reforms and that there are still concerns at the highest level he needs

to address proactively about 1(nln and whether he will really pursue reforms he says: I talked to him privately about [iiuliani and impact on president 1

17/4/15 1:53:51 Kurt Volker: My impression is that he is sincere in wanting to press forward on everything, but doesn't have a full team yet. doesn?t quite know how to do it, and and knows

there will be tough opposition

17/4/15, 1:54:35 Kurt Volker: But he made a good impression in Toronto and am sure he will dothe same in Washington

5nt it Thank youwillyou advise us ontime fortelephone call?
