Victoria Spartz, the first Ukrainian-born member of Congress and a Republican from Indiana, recently voted against aid for Ukraine, causing significant controversy and feelings of betrayal in her hometown of Chernihiv, which remains under Russian attack. This decision has sparked a deep dive into her political stance, revealing a notable flip-flop on her previous position of supporting Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. Natalia Khmelnytska, a teacher from Spartz's former school, expressed disappointment, noting, 'She is not Ukrainian anymore, and I see this.' The situation has drawn attention from both her constituents and the media, with reports highlighting the impact of her vote on her political and personal reputation.
