Trump’s lies: Zelensky’s a dictator - lie. Zelensky has 4% approval - lie. He has 57% US gave $350 billion to Ukraine- lie. It was $67b. Ukraine started the war - lie. Everyone knows Russia invaded Ukraine, even a 3-year-old. Trump is parroting the Kremlin lies like a traitor.

Trump lies on almost everything he says about Ukraine. He uses deliberately distorted data about Zelenskyy's rating and the US aid. Trump says Zelenskyy rating is 4%, which is an absolute lie. He says US has provided Ukraine with more than $300bn, which is also an absolute lie!
