Republican Party member Marjorie Taylor Greene has proposed a series of strange amendments to the Ukraine support bill
▫️One of them requires that any member of the House of Representatives who voted in favor of the Ukraine aid bill be required to join the Ukrainian Armed Forces;
▫️Another Greene's amendment is that Ukraine must "close all its biolabs" and provide all data on such "research;"
▫️Other amendments call for a report to prove that Christian churches in Ukraine can operate without government interference and that no funds can be used or spent "until the government of Ukraine holds free and fair elections";
The amendments are unlikely to gain support among Greene's colleagues because they are too extraordinary.
It is noteworthy that Greene's systematic anti-Ukrainian actions are also being criticized by her fellow party members. The day before, the Republican Fox News published a column titled "Marjorie Taylor Greene is an idiot. She is trying to wreck the GOP."

Doctors in Lviv recently performed a complex operation on a child from Northern Ireland for the first time. The patient, a 4-year-old girl, suffered from severe seizures that threatened her life and hindered her development. Pediatric neurosurgeons at the largest Center for Neurosurgery and Surgical Treatment of Epilepsy in Western Ukraine, based at St. Nicholas Children's Hospital, removed part of her brain hemisphere to address the problem.
The girl's family traveled 3,000 kilometers to seek the help of these specialists. Despite the challenging nature of the surgery, which lasted 7 hours, the operation was successful. The child is now seizure-free, which means her development will no longer be delayed.
