US President Trump’s claims about Zelenskyy and Ukraine fact-checked

Al Jazeera  

Donald Trump is engaged in an escalating war of words with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but his comments on the Ukrainian president are not accurate. Trump’s relationship with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy soured publicly as Trump called Zelenskyy a “dictator” and said he “started” the war with Russia, a claim PolitiFact rated pants-on-fire false. Trump, who sent a team to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday to begin negotiations on ending the war that did not include Ukraine, described Zelenskyy as a “modestly successful comedian” who was only good at playing former US President Joe Biden “like a fiddle”. Trump said: “Yeah, I would say that, you know, when they want a seat at the table, you could say, the people have to – wouldn’t the people of Ukraine have to say, like, you know, ‘It’s been a long time since we’ve had an election?’” Millions of Ukrainian citizens have been displaced by the war or have fled the country and many others reside in Russian-occupied territory, so holding elections could disenfranchise many voters. “Clearly, the term dictator does not apply to Zelenskyy, just as it does not apply to Churchill.” A spokesperson for United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer told the BBC it was “perfectly reasonable to suspend elections during wartime as the UK did during World War II” and Zelenskyy is Ukraine’s “democratically elected leader”.
