GOP Demands Firing of Ukraine Ambassador

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's recent visit to the U.S. has sparked significant controversy, particularly among Republican lawmakers. House Speaker Mike Johnson and House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer have accused Zelenskyy of participating in a politically motivated event designed to support Vice President Kamala Harris's presidential campaign, specifically citing his visit to a Pennsylvania ammunition factory. Johnson has demanded that Zelenskyy fire Ukraine's Ambassador to the U.S., Oksana Markarova, for allegedly orchestrating the visit to favor Democrats. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy met with President Joe Biden and presented a high-stakes 'victory plan' for additional American aid to counter Russia's invasion. Republicans argue the visit, which included exclusive meetings with Democratic officials, constitutes election interference and have launched an investigation into the event's logistics and funding.
