Spartz: lasting peace in Ukraine not possible right now, but ceasefire needed

Submitted

On Monday, The Daily Telegraph in the United Kingdom published an article with a headline that Congresswoman Victoria Spartz says intentionally misrepresents her position on Ukraine.

According to Spartz, the headline was “used by the Zelensky propaganda machine to smear” both her and President Donald Trump.

Spartz said the article used quotation marks to make it appear she said something she never actually said. After several interactions with Spartz’s team, The Daily Telegraph deleted the quotes but still kept a colon to make an appearance of this false statement.

Congresswoman Spartz issued the following statement to clarify her current position on Ukraine:

“It’s not surprising that the UK media is as dishonest as the US mainstream media, so let me set the record straight,” Spartz said. “I spent an enormous amount of energy trying to help the Ukrainian military to win their brutal fight against Russia. Unfortunately, if you have morons and crooks like Zelensky and his puppet parliament running your country, it’s a lost cause. Putin might be evil, but he is not a moron. The current reality on the ground is that Ukraine is not in the position to retake its territories, nor could they agree to give them up permanently. Therefore, only a temporary solution with the help of the United States can be achieved, which will give each side some time to regroup. The end result of that war will have to be decided later and not just on a battlefield.”
