Maybe this got covered somewhere in the hours of testimony.

Gordon Sondland is the ambassador to the European Union, right?

Ukraine isn't a member of the E.U.

So what was he doing there?

Good question! Of course, 45 booted our ambassador to Kyiv, so this is backup?

Trump gave Sondland "special assignments" in addition to Sondland's regular ambassadorial duties. (Link goes to detailed profile of Sondland's role in the impeachment proceedings.)
