The US Congress, Ukrainian origin Victoria Spartz, said his words that Ukraine should leave its lands have been justified by journalists.
Victoria Spartz – United States congressman of Ukrainian origin. The day before, an interview with Spartz appeared in the British publication of the Telegraph, in which it followed that it offered Ukraine to leave part of its territories in favor of Russia, and the country’s citizens voted against Vladimir Zelensky in the upcoming president’s election. If this is not done, then the Ukrainians run the risk of “loss of the rest of the country.” “I just don’t understand how Ukraine could be a position to demand the world’s maintenance. If it won the war, it was a strange thing,” Congressward explained his position.
Ukraine’s reaction
“Unlike Victoria, our entire land is always and will remain Ukrainian,” the official representative of the Foreign Ministry of Ukrainian Georgy Tikhiy wrote in response to this on this social network.
Victoria Spartz also expressed support for President Donald Trump’s decision to start a conversation with Vladimir Putin.
“President Trump’s legacy (war). Now he has to deal with the conflict,” he said, accusing Joe Biden of a massive crisis.
“I said two years ago: Wars have to win soon. They rarely end up well for democracy,” he added.
Words bent?
Spartz later said he did not talk about Ukraine’s refusal from the territories. His statement explains that the article initially uses excerpt marks by linking the Spartz words he did not say.
After several appeals from the Congress team, journalists removed the excerpt marks, but left a colon so, as they say, to keep the emphasis on a false statement.
“I spent a huge amount of energy, I was trying to help the Ukrainian military in their brutal struggle in Russia. Unfortunately, if your country was led by such idiots and scammers like Zelensky and the puppet Parliament, it was a hopeless business,” Spartz said.
According to him, the truth is that Ukraine has not restored its territories, but cannot agree to give them forever. Therefore, with the help of the United States, only a temporary solution can be achieved, which will give each side a few hours to re -regroup.
“The final result of this war will be resolved later, and not just on the battlefield,” Spartz added.
Spartz and Ukraine
During the early months of the invasion of Russia, Spartz actively defended Ukraine’s interests, calling Russia’s actions by killing people and accusing the Kremlin of war crimes.
But in 2024, he voted against a US help package for Ukraine for $ 61 billion, accusing Ukrainian corruption authorities.
He talks about the high prices that Americans paid for participating in endless wars, and about the failure of foreign policy of ex-US president Joe Biden.
The accusation that he refused to support his former countrymen, Spartz replied: “My main work as a member of the American Congress is to protect American interests.”
Earlier, Spartz repeatedly allowed himself a sharp statement to the Ukrainian leadership. In July 2022, he called the President of Zelensky to solve the “urgent internal problem”, in his opinion, with the head of the office of President Andrei Ermak.
He also turned to the president of the United States Joe Biden with a letter in which he called an investigation of charges against Yermak a terrifying relationship with Russia, and Deputy Tatarov directly accused him of blocking the work of anti -corruption bodies.
Spartz made his conclusions about Yermak, according to him, based on “various intelligence data, Mr. Ermak’s actions in Ukraine and his likely agreement with Russia.”
Foreign Ministry’s press secretary Oleg Nikolenko then responded to Spartz’s statements, advising him to stop attempts to earn political capital on unreasonable thoughts around the topic of war and no longer destroy the mechanism for providing military assistance.
Republican Victoria Spartz was the first politician of Ukrainian origin in the US Congress: he became a member of the House of Representative in 2020, who won election in the Indiana state. Subsequently, he re -proved in this position.
Congresswoman was born in the city of Nosovka in the Chernihiv region to a family of engineers, American publications wrote. He received the bachelor and master level at International Economics at the Kiev National Economic University.
In 2000, Victoria married American Jason Spartz and moved to the United States.
