  • During Friday's televised Oval Office fight, Trump and Vance made several misleading claims about Zelenskyy and Ukraine. Here are the facts about three of them.

The article from PBS NewsHour discusses the fact-checking of claims made by former President Donald Trump and Senator J.D. Vance regarding Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump and Vance have criticized Zelenskyy, with Trump alleging that Zelenskyy was ungrateful for U.S. aid and that Ukraine was not contributing enough to its own defense. Fact-checkers have debunked these claims, pointing out that Ukraine has been actively defending itself against Russian aggression, with significant losses and efforts on their part. Additionally, Trump's assertion that Zelenskyy was disrespectful towards him was refuted by evidence showing Zelenskyy's diplomatic approach in their interactions. Vance echoed Trump's sentiments, suggesting that Zelenskyy was demanding more aid without sufficient gratitude or effort from Ukraine, which was also found to be misleading. The article highlights the ongoing narrative of misinformation surrounding U.S. aid to Ukraine and the portrayal of Zelenskyy's leadership.
