Yesterday, the UK Telegraph published an article regarding Congresswoman Spartz's perspective on the situation in Ukraine, which she claims misrepresented her actual stance. The headline of the article has been criticized for being used to serve what she referred to as the "Zelensky propaganda machine," aiming to blame the United States for what was described as Zelensky's shortcomings.

Congresswoman Spartz addressed the issue, emphasizing that the statement attributed to her in the Telegraph article was inaccurate. According to Spartz, despite her team's efforts to communicate the inaccuracies, the publication removed the quotes yet maintained a colon, which she suggests continued to imply association with a false statement.

In her statement, Congresswoman Spartz commented on media honesty and clarified her dedication to supporting the Ukrainian military in its conflict with Russia. "It’s not surprising that the UK media is as dishonest as the US mainstream media, so let me set the record straight," Spartz said. She criticized Ukraine's leadership and acknowledged Russia's strategic advantage while suggesting that the current conditions are not favorable for Ukraine to reclaim its territories nor for a permanent resolution to be brokered. "Putin might be evil, but he is not a moron," she stated.

Congresswoman Spartz advocated for a temporary ceasefire facilitated by the United States to allow both sides an opportunity to regroup, indicating that the war’s conclusion will be determined over time and through continued negotiations, not solely through military confrontation. "The end result of that war will have to be decided later and not just on a battlefield," she concluded.
