For the significance of this one, we need some background on Firtash.
Firtash is the corrupt Ukrainian oligarch fighting extradition from Austria to the US to face bribery charges.
He was also a "business" associate and pal of Manafort's.

I put “Business” in quotations because what they call “business” we would call “finding ways to steal from the people.”

Why was Firtash funding Operation Ukraine Shakedown?
Because what Trump and Giuliani were doing in Ukraine did more than just benefit Trump personally (and more than just benefit the "business interests of Trump and pals).

What they were doing also benefited Russia, and the Russian-backed crooks in Ukraine.
See this thread:
OK, so, initially, Firtash was represented by Lanny Davis.

Then, in July, Firtash changed his legal representation and hired Victoria Toensing and Joe diGenoa.
Here we have notes discussing replacing Davis with Toensing and diGenoa.
Notice “get rid of Lanny Davis nicely." Get him to go away quietly. Minimal splash.

Then “get all info from the case.” That means get information from Firtash’s lawyer.
We already knew all about the tight relationship between Giuliani and Firtash, actually.

There’s a note about the “Ukrainian ledger” which involves Manafort.
(The document Ukraine released showing the depth of Manafort’s corruption in Ukraine.)

Toensing's spokesperson said she knew nothing about it.
Riiiight. We believe you. (Can you tell when I'm typing in the sarcasm font?)
Think of all the documents still being hidden from the public.
No wonder McConnell tried to nix a trial.

I'll just add this here: More evidence of the level of Firtash's involvement.
