Fox News and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a joint press conference on Tuesday, and the response from conservative politicians was swift: they called for the United States to stop sending aid to Ukraine.

During the press conference, Zelenskyy praised Fox for its coverage of Ukraine's political situation, and thanked the U.S. for its support over the years. He also mentioned that he hoped to build stronger ties with the U.S., saying "I want us to be strategic partners."

However, some conservative politicians were quick to criticize the move as a sign of foreign interference in American politics. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) tweeted that he was "deeply concerned" by the press conference and suggested that it would be "irresponsible" for the U.S. to continue providing aid to Ukraine if it was engaging in such activities.

The criticism has been echoed by other prominent conservatives such as former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who tweeted her support for Cruz's stance, saying "The American people deserve better than foreign interference in our elections." She also noted that she agreed with his assertion that it would be irresponsible for the United States to continue providing financial assistance to a country engaging in such activities.

In response, Zelenskyy has said that his government is committed to ensuring free and fair elections in Ukraine and working toward greater transparency within its political system. While some critics remain unconvinced by these promises, others have argued that cutting off aid could hurt U.S.-Ukrainian relations and undermine efforts at reform within Ukraine itself.

Ultimately, only time will tell whether or not this press conference leads to any actual policy changes on either side of the Atlantic Ocean, but it is clear that many conservatives are determined not to let foreign influence go unchecked in America’s upcoming election season.
