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.

US Senator Says Will Not Take Orders From Zelensky Amid the Latter's Trip to Washington
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - On December 7, the Senate blocked legislation to advance US President Joe Biden's $110 billion supplemental bill that includes $61 billion in aid to Ukraine over concerns it does not include "credible" border security measures.
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.
"With Zelensky in town and Ukraine money running dry, why doesn’t anyone in Washington talk about a peace treaty with Russia??... Answer: Washington wants war, not peace," Greene said in a statement via social media platform X.
Zelensky’s trip comes as US lawmakers consider a multi-billion supplemental funding request from the Biden administration, which includes
aid for Ukraine and Israel. However, Republican lawmakers have insisted on the inclusion of border security measures in the bill, delaying its passage.
The Biden administration has warned that the US may run out of resources to support Ukraine if Congress does not approve further assistance.
