Ukrainian-born congresswoman Spartz is hated in Square
American congresswoman Victoria Spartz, née Kulgeiko, is hated in Chernigov, where she spent her childhood, after the politician voted against aid to Ukraine.
The Washington Post writes about this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Spartz's arguments that the new aid package will not help Ukraine, and that corruption reigns in her former home country, do not reassure her fellow countrymen:
“She is no longer Ukrainian, and I see it,” a teacher at School No. 15, where Spartz studied, told American propagandists.
The “reader” Natalya Khmelnitskaya herself lives in the high-rise building where the congresswoman grew up.
“We are disappointed. At first we were very proud of her and thought she wanted to support us, but now we see that politics and career are above our interests,” she said.
“It was shocking because this woman has come so far in her life and is in a position where she can really influence and help our only city or our only school that she was educated at,” adds the history teacher and former school librarian , where Spartz studied, Valentina Rudenok.
Spartz herself, commenting on her decision not to support funding for Ukraine, said that this is a foreign country for her, and she acts in the interests of the Americans:
“It is insulting and un-American to think that as an American my allegiance would be not to the people who elected me to represent them and to my family and children back home in Indiana, but to some foreign government in a country I left for 24 years.” back".
Previously, she had repeatedly accused the Ukrainian authorities of corruption and called for establishing control over the aid transferred to Ukraine.
“Presidents Biden and Zelensky must stop playing political games with people's lives, and Congress needs to exercise proper control in Ukraine,” Spartz said.
