Kateryna Handziuk, who died in 2018 following an acid attack, was brought up today because on April 25 — when Marie Yovanovitch got the call telling her to leave Kiev — Yovanovitch was posthumously awarding Handziuk the 'Woman of Courage' award

Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, a Democrat from New York, asked Yovanovitch,"Why would somebody attack her with acid? There are easier ways to kill people. Why did they do it with acid?""I think they wanted her out of the way, but I think the message was this could happen to you, too, if you continue her work," Yovanovitch answered."That's what happens when you go up against corrupt people in Ukraine?" Maloney asked.

Initially, a criminal case was launched under a"hooliganism" offense but reclassified as"assault with the intent of intimidation" due to public pressure, Ukrainian news agencies reported at the time. A few weeks prior to her death, Handziuk recorded an anti-corruption message from her hospital bed saying,"I know I look bad now ... but I'm sure that I look much better than fairness and justice in Ukraine.

And, like everything else -- totally irrelevant to any investigation

Another sob story total nonsense what a currupt saga

At a party

And this was relative how in regards to impeachment?

Do you how many ambassadors Obama fired during his administration? Exactly! Get over it!! Trump 2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Not much discussion about Benghazi. I wonder why.

dems are doing this because the AG said his report was coming out about how the dems affected the 2016 election all the sudden the dems rush for impeachment hearing just wait dems will fall like dominoes

they bring up alot about her not keeping her job and how she felt it was wrong for her to be removed that is all her testimony was about there was no real facts only opinion like cnn does every day remember the dems like truth of facts

Bla bla bla bla she worked at the pleasure of the president period!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Did Ambassador Stevens receive any awards since you know he came back to America after Obama Biden and Clinton let him be murdered in Benghazi.

What the hell has that got to do with the impeachment inquiry?

And this has what to do with impeachment? Facts don’t support impeachment so SchiffShow and the worthless media are trying to tug on emotions. Pathetic. Maybe give up the witch hunt and do something for the country. Stop wasting our time and money.

☝️Another reason it is really stupid to continue this ImpeachmentHearing.

Didn’t she also compare her situation to Benghazi?🙄

All of these coward Republicans who get to pretend to be tough.... This is the only person who has been brave enough to not care about Trump's cult...

fake news media CNN

Not even comparable to the ambassadors that were attacked or those that lost their lives under Obama/HRC. Definitely NOT deserving of an award. She is a poster woman for Liberal/Schiff Resistance, nothing more!WomanScorned

Doesn't add up and this has nothing to do with the main impeachment inquiry. I would like to see the actual facts instead of hearsay or bringing in someone with hurt feelings that got fired. Something big is going on behind the doors without us knowing this is just a distraction!

And Yovanovitch would know what real courage is. Unlike Mafia Don.

Woman who doubt themselves thinking that man are more able, should look toward our Hero Yovanovitch - and say out loud, I am woman I am strong - and yes I can. A woman told me last week she wouldn't vote for a woman because they are not strong enough, that made me truly sad.

Stay focused liberals. Opinions, hearsay and innuendo have yet to reveal a crime. Regular channels equal the “swamp”. She should be commended for her service but dismissed as a witness since she wasn’t even active in Ukraine at the time. Stick to the law and not hurt feelings!

However the Ukrainian PM..wanted her replaced as quickly as possible. .hahahahaha

Just as ambassador T. Robinson in Gua how used his mandate to advance DNC’s interests. This is his Election Day Party with the Prosecutor General. He flee once Trumps victory was clear. Fighting corruption was not the goal. It was a plan to take the country from conservatives.

Yet another of Trump’s “advisors” is headed to prison, and Marie Yanokovich gets a standing ovation while the House GOP trips over their 🍄s and Trump hands Schiff yet another article of impeachment in live time. All in all, not a great day for the White House. 😂

I see a lot of “playing on fears of others” in this. Trump twitting about you, are you scared?

wow, what a way to use a woman's courage to make yovanovitch look like she was actually doing her job.

Poor thing! Great job JesseBWatters you nailed exactly what the media is neglecting to even mention... on purpose of course. Give me a break.

What about the death of Chris Stevens?

2/THIS UKR AMBASSADOR HAS NOTHING TO DO W/ANY FACTS ABT PREZ TRUMP & UKR!, NONE!! BUT JUST BCZ PRES TRUMP HURT HER FEELINGS LIL SCHITT CALLS AS WITNESS!? BS!!..RepAdamSchiff LET'S CALL UR CIA WHISTLE BLOWR, ERIC CIARMELLIO THE BIDEN'S, MS.CHULUPA, LET'S GET 2THE REAL CORRUPT'N!!

She left her post in April? How is she relevant to the impeachment hearings?

'Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth shall spring out of the earth; and rightousness shall look down from heaven.' Psalm 85.10,11 'Prayer for Revival' Ukrainian anti-corruption activist, Kateryna Handkivk, 'Woman of Courage'

this is less an impeachment story than a lifetime network soap opera

Just wow!!!

Thought it was a impeachment hearing seemed it was more about why he fired her. These people like her think they should be in charge of foreign policy and when they aren’t doing what why and how the President wants you’re gone and that’s what pisses these people off

Someone acid attacked the ambassador's hair-do.

CNN doing their propaganda thang y'all

realDonaldTrump No more President just Donald John Trump, a felon. You know it Americans now know it and the World leaders see you as a JOKE. I predict you're gone by Christmas and we WILL HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR. MSNBC GOP NewsHour

Trump's impeachment, which is being finalized in the House of Representatives, will be voted on in the coming days by a simple majority and sent to the Senate, where there is a high probability of gathering 2/3 of senators. The consequences will be unpredictable but real ?!

45 just abusing his power. Nothing to see here

FYI this is AdamSchiff Coolcall analyze of the last statements regarding AmbassadorYovanovitch 🧐 Cheers !

So she went to a party that same day

So, what the hell does this have to do with anything. What a waste of time and $$, stupid people like it though.

Best part of the day.

JoeBiden

Cuomo is ruining . There is nothing more to say about all 3 witnesses. I would have fired her also. Play her as a victim, good luck.

Has nothing to do with impeachment.

She makes Trump look like a coward

Sad irony. Ms Yovanovitch’s testmy today was perfect analogy to the hellish past 3 years: innocent people being targeted by wealthy narcissists for personal gain. The populous may not have suffered personal attacks, but our morals have been under constant attack.

Marie Yovanovitch is a liberal Democrat, an Obama supporter and virulently anti-Trump. She was undermining the President of the United States from within. She is the part of the swamp we elected him to drain.

This isn't a impeachment pity party.🤨

This is a headline that is strictly meant to elicit some kind of pity feelings. Trump had the absolute right to fire her and she had absolutely no knowledge on anything impeachable. What she was doing when she was fired doesn’t matter.

That's some sick pyschological warfare! Tell a sad story so people get emotional and dismiss rational thought. Emotions cloud judgement. What the hell does that incident have to do with the impeachment inquiry into the president? Absolutely Nothing!

America has hit the bottom with this president. Way too much corruption and convictions by his appointees and the people that surround him.

What that got to do with impeachment.

Same day Biden announced his candidacy.

Have GOP Mob no shame ?

At a party. So she was fine
