In a recent development, House Speaker Mike Johnson has penned a letter to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling for the dismissal of Ukraine's Ambassador to the United States.
This follows Zelensky's visit to a munitions factory in Pennsylvania, where he was accompanied by prominent figures from the Democratic party. Johnson's letter contained a direct appeal to Zelensky, stating, "I demand that you immediately fire Ukraines Ambassador to the United States, Oksana Markarova."
As reported by The Post Millennial, Johnson's letter further emphasized Zelensky's previous assertions that Ukraine has strived to steer clear of being 'captured by American domestic politics,' and 'influencing the choices of the American people' in the run-up to the November election. Johnson, however, believes that this principle was disregarded when Ambassador Markarova arranged an event where Zelensky toured an American manufacturing site.
Zelensky's visit to the munitions factory in Scranton, Pennsylvania, was marked by his gratitude towards the workers for producing the 155mm artillery shells required by Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia. The Biden-Harris administration faced backlash for transporting the global leader on a US Air Force jet.
Johnson's letter further criticized the event, stating, "The facility was in a politically contested battleground state, was led by a top political surrogate for Kamala Harris, and failed to include a single Republican because on purpose no Republicans were invited." He went on to label the tour as a partisan campaign event aimed at aiding Democrats, terming it as clear election interference.
Johnson concluded his letter by expressing the Republicans' loss of faith in Ambassador Markarovas ability to serve as a diplomat in the US effectively and impartially, stating, "She should be removed from her post immediately."
