Trump claims Ukraine started war with Russia but facts contradict his statements

President Donald Trump recently claimed Ukraine started the war with Russia, which has resulted in significant casualties. This statement contradicts the fact that Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, following years of aggression starting in 2014. Trump also criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for not holding elections during martial law. However, Zelenskyy was elected in 2019, and elections are currently impossible due to the ongoing war and the displacement of millions of Ukrainians. Additionally, Trump inaccurately stated that Zelenskyy's approval rating is at 4%. Recent data shows it is around 57%. Trump also exaggerated casualty figures, claiming millions have died, while estimates indicate over 46,000 Ukrainian soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians have been killed.
