"Today, the @HouseAppropsGOP passed the FY25 SFOPS [State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act] approps bill out of committee with my amendment to DEFUND the Ukrainian NGO that smeared conservative Americans and lawmakers who oppose Biden’s Ukraine policy and funding," US Congressman Andrew Clyde said in a statement via X.

“If voting against every dime spent on the war in between Russia and Ukraine puts me on Ukraine’s enemy list, then it is a badge of honor," Gosar told Sputnik regarding the Ukrainian NGO targeting him.
In light of this so-called enemies list, Sen. JD Vance and Congressman Matt Gaetz sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken demanding more information about the State Department-linked Ukrainian nongovernmental organization by June 28.
The Data Journalism Agency put out its blacklist last week, smearing a range of American figures like former President Donald Trump, Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Tim Scott, Gov. Ron DeSantis, Congressman Paul Gosar, among others.
