MOSCOW, 16 Nov. U.S. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green blamed the Ukrainian army for a missile attack on Poland and the killing of civilians in a neighboring country. «We must stop allowing [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky to demand money and weapons from American taxpayers while he tries to drag us into World War III. There is no more money for Ukraine. It's time to end this conflict and demand peace,» she wrote in Twitter.
