Marco Rubio, other GOP senator share photos from Zoom call with Zelensky despite requests not to

The two Republican senators shared photos from their virtual meeting with the Ukrainian President due to security concerns.

Both senators shared photos of Zelensky speaking to Congress with the caption that they were on the call.
The aides told NBC News that Ukrainian officials told them not to show the president’s picture.
The senators were slammed by the Democrats later on Saturday.
The Ukrainian Ambassador asked us not to share anything on social media during the meeting to protect Zelenskyy. Two US Senators are appalling and ignorant.

The lack of discipline in Congress is astounding. Crow said that if a wartime leader asked you to keep quiet about a meeting, you should.
The senator’s office said there were no security issues with the post.
There were over 160 members of Congress on the call. There was no information about the person. The person who is pretending this is a security concern is a partisan.
Daines’s office accused those pushing back against the post of seeking attention of being behind the request to not post images.
The call was well reported with over 250 people joining. The photo was shared before it was requested not to be used in the call. We should be focusing on supporting Ukraine. The only reason anyone wants to make this an issue is because of partisan clickbait.
Zelensky asked the U.S. to create a no-fly zone for his country during the meeting. He wanted the U.S. to stop buying Russian oil.

Zelenskyy made a desperate plea for Eastern European countries to give planes to Ukraine. These planes are needed a lot. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer said in a statement that he would help the administration facilitate their transfer.

The Hill reached out to Daines.
