Despite requests to refrain from sharing any visuals from the zoom call with Zelensky, Republican senators Marco Rubio and Steve Daines shared images of the zoom call. It was virulently criticised by American democratic representative Dean Philips and others. Soon after this occurred President Zelensky himself shared a few images on his social media account.
