as an argument that "Ukraine wasn't aware" of aid being held up until Politico article in August.

What this new article actually points to is a Ukrainian official who resigned because, not only was Bolton lying to him about US intent, but so was Zelensky's inner circle who, at the time, was about to go all in on doing an interview with CNN to announce a bogus investigation of the Bidens.

This guy was disgusted that his supposed anti-corruption cohorts were about to buckle to corruption. The tRump lawyer didn't go into that aspect though.
