Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Wednesday that President Donald Trump is living in a Russian "disinformation space" regarding his previous day's comments about the Ukrainian leader's approval rating.
Trump said at Mar-a-Lago that Zelenskyy's rating stood at 4%.
Zelenskyy replied in a news conference in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv that "we have seen this disinformation. We understand that it is coming from Russia."
He said that Trump "lives in this disinformation space."
Trump also suggested Ukraine ought to hold elections, which have been postponed due to the war and the consequent imposition of martial law, in accordance with the Ukrainian Constitution.
Trump suggested Tuesday that Kyiv was to blame for the war, which enters its fourth year next week, as talks between top American and Russian diplomats in Saudi Arabia sidelined Ukraine and its European supporters.
Trump's comments are likely to vex Ukrainian officials...
The battlefield has also brought grim news for Ukraine in recent months. A relentless onslaught in eastern areas by Russia's bigger army is grinding down Ukrainian forces, which are slowly but steadily being pushed backward at some points on the 1,000-kilometer (600-mile) front line.
Trump told reporters at his Florida residence Tuesday that Ukraine "should have never started" the war and "could have made a deal" to prevent it.
American officials have signaled that Ukraine's hopes of joining NATO in order to ward off Russian aggression after reaching a possible peace agreement won't happen.

No negotiation with an illegitimate government present.
He knows he will get crushed in an election. He is lashing out. It’s the whole reason this little dictator canceled elections in the first place.
Keep burning bridges zelenskii- and while yer at it, cut yer nose off to spite yer face too!
What a great idea! Just keep poking the bear that keeps you afloat with a sharp stick...he won’t mind... Oh wait, Biden’s no longer in office and the kickbacks won’t work anymore.
This guy’s shelf life is about 5 days at this point. The pecker piano fans will be thrilled their virtuoso is coming back to show business.
Its been going on for a LOOOONG time
Trump owes nothing to Zelensky's regime
What, is that Z?
The Greasy One is poking another bear, and this one is about to throw him overboard.
Could someone come up with some excuse besides “Russian disinformation”?
This excuse for everything the West doesn’t like has been used for a decade and it’s becoming trite.
Yes, 💯%.
This is the time when the bullshit walks and reality talks.
This is a painful process given how little of what we have been told is truth and reality and how much of what we have been told is compete and utter lies and BS.
Zelensky is a puppet who has let his lavish recent lifestyle and fetting trick him into thinking he is actually important.
Z doesnt want the war to end. Gravy train will keep rolling if there is war. And the last thing he wants is honest elections.
LOL
(This guy’s shelf life is about 5 days at this point.)
I have a strong feeling this guy is going to end up like Mussolini.
Yes, that is a real video (GIF) of Zelensky doing his Homo Dance.
Here is another of Zelensky (front) and three other Ukrainian dancers:
This excuse for everything the West doesn’t like has been used for a decade and it’s becoming trite.
Zeepers Creepers, it's been used since the voluntary dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Pretty dumb Zeke, antagonizing Trump is bad move.
