Twitter faced calls to remove tweets from U.S. Senators Marco Rubio and Steve Daines that featured screenshots of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressing members of Congress on Saturday.
Rubio, a Florida Republican, shared a screenshot of the meeting with a caption that read, "on zoom call now with President Zelenskyy," while Daines, a Montana Republican, shared a similar screenshot captioned "Currently on a zoom call with President Zelenskyy. #StandWithUkraine."
U.S. Representative Dean Phillips, a Democrat from Minnesota, condemned the tweets on Twitter and said that the Ukrainian ambassador to the U.S. requested that no one share anything from the meeting.
"The Ukrainian Ambassador very intentionally asked each of us on the zoom to NOT share anything on social media during the meeting to protect the security of President Zelenskyy. Appalling and reckless ignorance by two US Senators," he wrote.
