US Senator Mike Lee said in a statement that he will not take orders from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as the leader visits Washington in an effort to rally support for further Ukraine aid.
“So no one could possibly have a legitimate reason to disagree with Zelensky? I can think of plenty of legitimate reasons,” Lee said on Monday, amid a trip by the Ukrainian president to the United States. “It isn’t Zelensky’s job to worry about America’s interests. But it is ours — and we won’t be taking orders from him.”
Lee’s statement came in response to a speech by Zelensky earlier on Monday, in which he claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin is “inspired” by the US Congress delaying the passage of more aid for Ukraine.
US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene also used Zelensky’s visit to highlight the US’ lack of willingness to support a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.
