Zelensky says now that if anyone wants to replace him as leader right now, it won’t work as his approval rating is high.
The Ukrainian leader goes on to cite a survey, which he says suggests 58% of Ukrainian people have confidence in him as leader.
He also says Ukraine is seeing “a lot of disinformation” from Russia.
“With all due respect to President Donald Trump as a leader….he is living in this disinformation space,” he adds.
His comments come after Trump claimed Zelensky – who won a five-year term in 2019 – was “down at 4% approval rating”.
Zelensky says Ukraine has “evidence” that disinformation about the 4% approval rating is being spread by Russia, and “these numbers are being discussed between America and Russia”.
