Share

The Speaker of the US House Mike Johnson has demanded that Ukraine fire its ambassador to Washington, as a feud between the Republican Party and Volodymyr Zelensky escalates.

Johnson's intervention comes after President Zelensky visited an arms factory in Scranton, Pennsylvania the hometown of President Joe Biden in a key swing state - with several top Democrats.

In a public letter, the top Republican said the visit was "designed to help Democrats" and claimed it amounted to "election interference".
