Victoria Spartz, a Ukrainian-born US congresswoman representing Indiana’s 5th Congressional District, is set to face off against challengers in a primary election on Tuesday. Spartz has been criticized for her recent votes related to issues concerning Ukraine. According to critics, her actions do not sufficiently stand up to Russian aggression. The primary will be a key test of her support among Republican voters in the district. Despite the criticism, Spartz’s international upbringing and knowledge of Russian affairs is also seen as an asset by some constituents. Consequently, the outcome of the primary could help determine the future approach of elected officials towards Russia-Ukraine issues.
