The Russia-Ukraine war · claims ledger

Zelensky's approval rating is 4 per cent.

Unresolvable Claimed by Government of the United States on 19 February 2025.

The statement

Trump wrote on Truth Social that Zelensky was "a Dictator without Elections" who "better move fast" or would not have a country left, after earlier suggesting Ukraine was to blame for the war; Zelensky had said Trump was living in a Russian "disinformation bubble" and that a claim his approval stood at 4 per cent was false.
