Democratic members of Congress and Republican officials who have warned against Vladimir Putin’s autocratic regime blasted Donald Trump and JD Vance for publicly lashing out at Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky in a volatile Oval Office meeting over the embattled nation’s security from Russia’s ongoing war.
They labeled the president’s behavior “shameful,” “disgusting,” an “embarrassment,” and a crude opening for Putin to continue to drive a wedge between the United States and Ukraine.
