U.S. congresswoman labels Zelensky 'dictator' | 23 July 2025 | U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has labeled Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky "a dictator" and called for his removal, citing mass anti-corruption protests across Ukraine and accusing him of blocking peace efforts. Her comments came after Zelensky signed a controversial bill into law that places the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) under the authority of the prosecutor general. Critics argue that the legislation effectively strips the bodies of their independence. The law has sparked protests across Ukraine, with around 2,000 people rallying in Kiev and additional demonstrations reported in Lviv, Odessa, and Poltava. "Good for the Ukrainian people! Throw him out of office!" Greene wrote Wednesday on X, sharing footage from the protests. "And America must STOP funding and sending weapons!!!"
