The speaker of the US House of Representatives is known for her support of Ukraine. In particular, Nancy Pelosi made a statement that russia should be recognized as a state sponsor of terrorism.
«The confiscation of russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine is a difficult matter, and powerful allies are needed here. Nancy Pelosi is one of them. She is already a champion in support of Ukraine and a true friend of ours. My team and I have been dealing with the issue of confiscation of russian money in favor of Ukraine for the past three months. We believe that the taxpayers of our partners should not pay for the restoration of what was destroyed by putin, the russians should pay for it. And we hope for Nancy Pelosi's support», — Kira Rudik emphasized.
