Congresswoman Spartz urges Ukraine to cede land, resign Zelensky

U.S. Congresswoman Victoria Spartz, the first Ukrainian-born member of Congress, has ignited controversy by suggesting that Ukraine should cede territories to Russia and demand the resignation of President Volodymyr Zelensky. In an interview with The Telegraph, Spartz argued that without a victory in the ongoing war, Ukraine cannot justifiably demand the return of occupied lands. She expressed disdain for both Zelensky and former President Joe Biden, criticizing their leadership and calling for a shift in Ukraine's approach to the war. Spartz, who previously supported U.S. aid to Ukraine, has changed her stance and voted against a $61 billion aid package, citing a lack of clear strategy and accountability. She emphasized the urgency of resolving the conflict quickly, warning that prolonged war could jeopardize democracy. Additionally, she has voiced support for former President Trump's willingness to negotiate with Russia, reflecting her belief that difficult decisions must be made for peace.
