Trump criticizes Zelensky, echoing Kremlin narratives on Ukraine war

independent.co.uk

Donald Trump has recently criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, claiming he lacks legitimacy and suggesting Ukraine started the war with Russia. This aligns with Kremlin propaganda, which has been spreading on social media. Trump's special envoy, Keith Kellog, has arrived in Kyiv amid concerns about his boss's statements. Zelensky responded diplomatically, stating that Trump is misinformed and lives in a "disinformation space." Ukraine's parliament supports Zelensky, and recent polls show his approval rating at 52 percent, not 4 percent as Trump claimed. The EU is taking steps to support Ukraine, including sanctions against Russian fuel smuggling.
