During the 2016 Republican National Convention, the traditionally hawkish party’s platform was changed behind the scenes to remove a plank which supported supplying the Ukrainian Army with American weaponry.
The question here is less whether it’s in the U.S. or Russia’s national interest to supply or not supply the Ukrainian army with American weapons. Rather, investigators appear to be focused on whether the change occurred as part of a grander quid-pro-quo with Russia, or if it came as part of some other aspect of Russian influence on the campaign.
