The wife of former Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman blamed Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and asked her to remember “blood” as she holds her infant child.
On the sixth day of Russia’s indiscriminate and unprovoked war on Ukraine, the causalities are reportedly mounting on both sides.
Amid an ongoing conflict such numbers of dead and wounded must be taken with a grain of salt. Ukrainian sources claim massive casualties have been inflicted against their invaders.

With the conflict escalating, Rachel Vindman took to Twitter on Tuesday to blame the bloodshed on Stefanik.
Stefanik, who gave birth to a baby boy named Samuel last August, posted on Twitter that the U.S. “stands firmly” with the people of Ukraine.

Vindman shared the tweet, and she commented, “@RepStefanik You have the blood of Ukrainians on your hands. When you hold your new baby I want you to think of the mothers of @Ukraine who will never see their children again because you abdicated your responsibility to hold Trump accountable for his extortion.”

Former President Donald Trump was accused of extorting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, during their infamous 2019 phone call.
Trump had asked Zelensky for a “favor” with regard to an investigation into Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine during the call.
Democrats accused Trump of holding up aid to Ukraine in order to exact political revenge against the Biden family.
Trump was later impeached, but has maintained the call was “perfect.”
