Many in the House GOP caucus feel that her stance could hurt the American alliance with the war-torn country at a critical time.
While President Joe Biden and most members of the Republican caucus have expressed unambiguous support of Ukraine after Russian President Putin launched an invasion of the country in February, her comments have led some GOP lawmakers to worry that her words could also boost the small minority of Republicans who have opposed the billions
A Republican lawmaker on the House Foreign Affairs Committee said that she was hurting her own people by being naive. It's not helpful to what we're trying to do and we don't know her facts.
The lawmaker told the news outlet that the congresswoman's comments could hurt the effort to aid the Ukrainian people.
According to The Associated Press, the US has given over $7 billion in aid to Ukraine.
A businesswoman who was born in Ukraine and moved to the United States in her 20s, released a statement accusing Biden and Zelenskyy of playing politics as it related to military strategy and called for a proper oversight of critical infrastructure.
She wrote that President Zelensky needs to stop playing politics and start governing to support his military and local governments.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry blasted the freshman congresswoman for what they said was baseless speculation.
"We advise Ms. Spartz to stop trying to earn extra political capital on baseless speculation about the topic of war in our country and the grief of Ukrainians." The congresswomen of Ukrainian origin are manipulating the leadership of the country.
Several members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee have spoken to her privately about her comments after she attended briefings for committees where she is not a member.
The Western alliance that has so far kept the country from falling to Putin could be affected by her comments.
Last week, she was briefed about her allegations.
Concerns of corruption have been raised in the past by some Western officials, but they have largely been dismissed in the wake of the assault against the country.
Lindsey Graham said that he disagreed with her claims.
He said he didn't share her criticisms. The Zelenskyy government and the Ukrainian people have risen to the occasion.
Zelenskyy has been accused of not understanding the full scope of the war by Spartz, who has called for more stringent oversight of the weaponry that has been sent to Ukraine.
The country's leadership is not preparing for war. You act like you don't have a fight. You don't know that you have the largest war after the Second World War.
Zelenskyy's support of the country's war effort is not being questioned, but she wants to address oversight issues with the war effort.
She told the publication that the president's support is still there. Some of your country's actions are worrying us. It doesn't mean that problems don't exist.
