‘…Putin is an evil dictator does not mean that Ukraine…’: Vivek Ramaswamy slams Zelenskyy for seeking more US funds
Vivek Ramaswamy has lambasted Volodymyr Zelenskyy for seeking additional funds from the US to hold polls in Ukraine. “I have a problem with appeasement too, but I want to be very clear. We have to level with the American people here.
Just because Putin is an evil dictator -- and he is -- does not mean that Ukraine is good," Vivek Ramaswamy said in an interview with Fox News. “This (Ukraine) is a country that has banned 11 opposition parties. This is a country that has consolidated all media into one state media arm, whose president just last week was praising a Nazi in his own ranks, has threatened the United States not to hold its own normal elections this year unless it gets more funding," he added. Ramaswamy has been vocal in his criticism, calling China the biggest threat that the US faces.
Ramaswamy's parents migrated to the US from Kerala and he was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. He attended Harvard University for his undergrad and later got a law degree from Yale University. He is married to Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Assistant Professor Apoorva Tewari Ramaswamy.
