Medal of Freedom winner disputes Trump's claims about Ukraine's Zelenskyy approval rating

Retired General Jack Keane, awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Donald Trump, disputed Trump's claim that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has a 4% approval rating. Keane stated Zelenskyy's approval is actually 57%, up from 52% in December. Keane explained that Ukraine's constitution allows for the postponement of elections during martial law, which is currently in effect due to the war with Russia. He emphasized that Ukraine is acting democratically and should not be pressured to hold elections during the conflict. The exchange follows Trump's accusations against Zelenskyy regarding American aid and comes after U.S. and Russian officials met to discuss a potential settlement to the war, excluding Ukrainian and European representatives.
