‘U.S Is Not Your Piggy Bank…’ U.S Lashes Out At Ukraine | Zelensky To Flee Ukraine Amid Tensions? [Video]

‘U.S Is Not Your Piggy Bank…’ U.S Lashes Out At Ukraine | Zelensky To Flee Ukraine Amid Tensions?

In a fiery declaration, U.S. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna has vowed to block all future weapons funding for Ukraine over what she calls the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Citing President Zelensky’s crackdown on the nation’s largest Christian denomination, Luna, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, accused Ukraine of violating religious freedoms and warned that the U.S. is "not your piggy bank." Her post comes amid growing criticism in the U.S. of how billions in aid to Ukraine are being used, especially under Trump’s renewed “America First” policy. The issue has gained little attention in U.S. politics, but high-profile voices like Tucker Carlson have echoed similar concerns. The controversy deepens as Zelensky strips top clergy of citizenship and pushes legislation targeting churches with links to Russia. Is Washington finally rethinking its blind support for Kiev? #Ukraine #Zelensky #OrthodoxChurch #ChurchBan #AnnaPaulinaLuna #NoWeapons #USPolitics #Christianity #ReligiousFreedom #Trump #Kiev #GOP #UkraineAid #AmericaFirst #TuckerCarlson #UkraineCrisis #MilitaryAid #KievChurchBan #MetropolitanOnufry #KievPecherskLavra Also Read EU Diplomat Calls on US Lawmakers to Rethink Omission of Ukraine Aid in Stop-Gap Budget Bill :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/eu-chief-urges-us-reconsider-ukraine-aid-cut-budget-bill-gen-3648513.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~HT.408~GR.125~
