Trump makes false claims about Zelensky and Ukraine in recent statements

Former President Donald Trump made several false claims about Ukraine and President Volodymyr Zelensky in recent statements. He incorrectly stated that Ukraine started the war and that Zelensky's approval rating is only 4%, while recent polls show it is 57%. Trump also exaggerated U.S. aid to Ukraine, claiming it totals $350 billion, while actual figures are around $124 billion. He misrepresented the aid comparison, stating the U.S. has given significantly more than Europe, when in fact, Europe has provided about $258 billion in total aid. Additionally, Trump claimed Zelensky admitted that half of U.S. aid is "missing." However, Zelensky clarified that he was addressing inflated aid figures, stating Ukraine received about $76 billion, mostly in weapons, and not admitting to any missing funds.
