Maria Bartiromo criticized for repeating Trump's false claim about Zelensky's approval rating

Maria Bartiromo faced criticism for repeating Donald Trump's false claim that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has a 4 percent approval rating. Bill Browder, a Kremlin critic, corrected her, stating that Zelensky's approval is actually between 52 and 63 percent. During the interview, Browder emphasized that Zelensky's government operates under martial law due to the ongoing Russian invasion. He argued that Trump’s comments were unfair to Ukraine, which is defending itself against aggression. Later, Trump responded to Browder's remarks, labeling Zelensky a "dictator" and accusing him of prolonging the war for American aid. This exchange highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding the narrative of the Ukraine conflict.
