US House of Representatives member Marjorie Taylor Greene (Republican, Georgia) has declared that she will not vote for any bill to provide assistance to Ukraine because the US should be working to prevent wars instead of fanning the flames of a proxy conflict with Russia.

"Ukraine is not America's 51st state. The mission of our Department of Defense is defending AMERICA and preventing wars. Not fueling a proxy war with Russia. I won't vote for any bill that funds a war in Ukraine," the congresswoman said in a statement on the X social media platform (formerly Twitter).

Previously, the Republican lawmaker asserted that the US must stop the Ukrainian conflict and mediate peace talks instead of sending money and military personnel to assist the Kiev regime.
