The Daily Wire’s Candace Owens has been vocal about her concerns regarding the United States’ support of Ukraine. However, Owens falsely stated that “Ukraine wasn’t a thing until 1989” on her show last week.
During an appearance on Newsmax, Iuliia Mendel, a journalist who served as the press secretary for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, was asked to respond to Owens’ recent claims and others who share this same view about the U.S. involvement in the war.
“Iuliia, there’s a sort of small group of conservative people here in America who say that we should not be getting involved in the war,” host Eric Bolling said. “Let me play a soundbite of a fairly prominent female conservative who says stay out of it.”
“They want us engaged in this conflict. We have serious war hawks, and this is across party lines, Republicans and Democrats, who understand the profit margins when you are engaged in a war. And people like me don’t want to be engaged in a war,” Owens said in the soundbite.
Mendel told Bolling that while a part of the U.S. population might not want to be entangled in a war with Russia, Ukraine doesn’t want to be implicated in it either.
“In fact, Ukraine also doesn’t want to be involved in this war,” Mendel said after watching Owens’ comments. “This is only the Russia–the Russian leadership and Russia who attacks the countries.”
“We don’t want to be involved, but it doesn’t matter what we want. Russia just comes to the territory of different country, kills its people, taking the territory.”
