Quick Glance: GOP Congresswoman Propagates Russian Narratives Against Ukraine Aid
  • Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced amendments to the latest bill on aid to Ukraine, echoing Russian propaganda narratives about "biolabs in Ukraine" and "persecution of Christians in Ukraine."

  • Greene proposed halting funding for Ukraine's aid until free and fair elections are held, persecution of Christians stops, and all biolabs in Ukraine are closed.

  • The allegation of secret "biolabs" in Ukraine is a long-standing Russian propaganda conspiracy theory, also picked up by Chinese disinformation networks according to the EU East Stratcom Task Force.

  • House Speaker Mike Johnson announced determination to advance the foreign aid bill on April 20, despite opposition from GOP hardliners who have blocked progress for over six months.
