Online Desk:  US House Speaker Mike Johnson accused Ukraine's Ambassador Oksana Markarova of interfering in America's internal politics. The speaker has written a letter to President Volodymyr Zelensky, accusing the ambassador and demanding his immediate removal.

According to the complaint, Zelonsky visited a manufacturing site in Pennsylvania on Monday on the sidelines of the United Nations Security Council. The tour was conducted in a 'politically contested' state. And it was led by a 'top political surrogate' for US Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, and 'purposefully' excluded a Republican representative. About which the ambassador of Ukraine knew.

As a result, Republicans accused the ambassador of interfering in the upcoming US election. In view of which the Speaker has written to Zelensky asking for the removal of the ambassador.

"You (Zelensky) said Ukrainians tried to avoid being 'captured by US domestic politics' and 'influencing the choices of the American people' before the November elections," the letter said. But that objective was abandoned this week. When Ambassador (Oksana) Markarova hosted an event where you visited an American manufacturing site.'

The speaker added that the visit was an event designed to "help Democrats." Which clearly defines electoral interference. As a result of this short-sighted and deliberately political move, Republicans have lost confidence in Ambassador Markarova's ability to act fairly and effectively as a diplomat in this country. He should be removed from his post immediately.'

The US speaker has written to Zelensky asking for the removal of the ambassador, but the Ukrainian authorities have not commented on it so far.
