Twitter Users Ask Platform to Delete 2 Senators' Tweets to Protect Zelensky

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.

A dictator and came here for their freedom. I don’t understand his stance with Russia.

The gentleman from the Ukraine requested that the images not be posted on social media

Seems like a simple request to me

Yet they have been posted here several times today

Ironic hey?
