Speaking to Steve Bannon on War Room, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna revealed that during a recent visit to Poland, she heard a peculiar request from the speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament.
“They want to not only demand that Americans pay $200 every single day, every American in the country because it is our ‘obgligation’ according to Ukraine, so that they can defend the western world from Russia. But they are also saying that they want F-35s,” she said.

“And if that isn’t crazy enough, they’re saying that after Russia leaves Crimea, which is where their head is at, they’re going to potentially privatize and create a mercenary army similar to the Wagner Group. So that is the mindset of Ukraine. So why are we giving them more munitions?” Luna said.
The Wagner Group is a private militia group operating on behalf of Russia. It took the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut earlier in the conflict before handing it over to Russian troops. Leader of the group Yevgeny Prigozhin marched his forces on Moscow earlier this month in what was then termed a failed coup. However, Russian President Putin met with Progozhin in the days following.
