Ukrainian-American Singer's Cousin Killed On Ukraine's Front Line Due To Lack Of Ammo, She Blasts Speaker Mike Johnson

Popular Ukrainian-American singer Kelsie Kimberlin, who recently visited the Ukrainian war zone, was notified that her 21-year old cousin, Andriy Rachok, was killed by a kamikaze drone near Avdivka, Ukraine. He was serving on the front line. Kelsie created a YouTube video blasting GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson for betraying Ukraine and the United States. Her video is now making the rounds of Congress after she met with a congressional staff about the death. The video is worth everyone's time to watch and share.

Being on the front line with no ammo . That is our front line in the fight for democracy. The House went home and left them without ammo to protect themselves.

fallen short in the assistance to Ukraine and her courageous soldiers. I hope Mike Johnson and his ilk pay dearly for their choices on this. They are not Christians, they're the evil that walks and talks in double speak. GO F*CK YOURSELVES GOP
