U.S. Republican senators Marco Rubio and Steve Daines are being criticized after tweeting photos of a video call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday. Some of their colleagues say the photos could put Zelensky in danger.

But as Russian troops continue their assault on Ukraine and push towards Kyiv, Zelensky has remained in the country, despite the threats to his safety. Zelensky even told the U.S. lawmakers on the call that it may be the last time they see him alive.

Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips, who also participated in the call, called the tweets from Daines and Rubio "appalling and reckless ignorance." "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,"Rep. Jason Crow, another Democratic congressman also criticized the tweets, saying, "Lives are at stake."

"The lack of discipline in Congress is truly astounding. If an embattled wartime leader asks you to keep quiet about a meeting, you better keep quiet about the meeting,", who is the former chair of the Republican National Committee, tweeted at Rubio, "You were specifically asked NOT to share this briefing with Zelensky.

You can't trust the GOP they are all beholden to Trump and Trump is beholden to Putin.

Knock knock , who’s there? All of us and where we are and let’s post it on Twitter

Lots of Hitler and Nazi being thrown around these days....maybe CTV and CBC could play Schindler's List on a loop to remind people of what those words mean and what those monsters did.

Criticized? They should be shunned.

War Criminals… lock them up

Are those Senators possible Russian assets?

Disgusting behavior - in real time!

They don’t follow direction very well, but then again, safe in their warm little beds what do they care. He asked, no pictures. Today’s technology, especially Russia, they have ways.

Zelensky is less popular in Ukraine than Blackface Hitler is in Canada.

The look of stupidity !

Right wing Republican Senators...to be clear.

Rubio and Daines obviously work for Putin! MoscowMitch MoscowMarco

Will there be repercussions for this?

Clout chasing gone wrong.

You mean the guy known for taking bribes from Russia and the guy who is established to have deep connections to the Russian elite might be a problem? Who'd have thought?

Sounds like attempted murder.

RussianAssets

Think it would be a good idea of Zelinksy doesn't communicate with US Republicans. They are all Putin/Trump puppets and cannot be trust.

Degenerates.

The GOP need to top taking funding from Russian owned energy corporations.

Looks at his eyes, pure evil👿.

CarmenShier Just criticized? They should lose their jobs & charged for this.

Stupid

And characters like these two are allowed to make major national and international policy decisions within the American government? No wonder the U.S. is such a bloody mess these days.

Stop using zoom.

GQP realizing they lost November with their support of Putin. Too late for damage control

Yet, they haven't removed it or made any attempt to delete it and reshared it. That should be telling whose side they're on.

😡😡Should be kicked out!!!!

They trying to get him killed ? The guy already dodged several attempts on his life. Technology these days, who knows if they could track him. Russians are known for it. Zelensky said no pics.

worldwideGunless

I hope they are replaced or banned from any further media broadcasts.

Arrest them

Republicans for Trump support the Russian Federation! They should not be RE-elected! POTUS WhiteHouse DNC GOP cnnbrk nytimes TexasTribune washingtonpost ABC SpeakerPelosi

Criticized as they should be the daft bunnies.

A budget is a reflection of our values.' CTV please stop being biased. I stopped watching u on tv. State media. Shame. So you call say thay its now NATOs fault nor not calling a no fly zone and starting WWIII but you want their planes? Maybe don't make your backers angry dude....

Canadians answer the call to defend UkraineCanadians are answering the call to defend Ukraine against the Russian invasion after a plea by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. What if they see a Russian Canadian at the airport who is going to fight for Russia. Should they just fight to the death in the airport? Some of us are able to help in person, being in Europe at the moment.
