Fox News host Mark Levin, a longtime supporter of President Trump, is breaking with the commander-in-chief over his recent attacks on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, warning Trump that “MAGA doesn’t support Putin.”
Speaking on the Mark Levin Show on Wednesday, Levin offered a rare criticism of the president as he backed Zelensky for maintaining order in Ukraine following Russia’s invasion in 2022.
Levin’s segment appeared to be a direct response to Trump’s claims that Zelensky is a dictator that the Ukrainian leader is stopping free elections and only has a very low approval rating.
The Fox News host said both of those assertions are false.

S okay
We can have differing opinions
Mark is still 99% Trump
I’m on both sides anyway.
Stop wasting lives against an enemy there is no possibility of beating.
Continue to drain Russia resources so they are not able to ally with China in any action....
Levin has the sads, good.
Trump sees around the corner and plays the game with that advantage. Levin should understand this.
Contradictory statement. They may be pressed to ally with China for exports of raw materials. They need cash and China is a trading partner.
Hey Mark, MAGA is putting “America First”, not spending $100B of taxpayer money to fund one side of a conflict between two Soviet states. Enough is enough!
Levin was a never Trumper —
— until Levin wasn’t
Leapords. Spots.

I understand where he’s coming from. But Putin is actually gaining more from the status quo. Without the war there is very little his people can be distracted by, united, or happy about.
During the Iran / Iraq war, my preference was that they both lose. Not too different here, except this conflict involves an appalling loss of life, and a waste of incredible amounts of treasure - and the latter on our end. I truly hope Trump and his team can influence a settlement soon.
“‘MAGA doesn’t support Putin’”
Why does Levin claim to know ANYTHING AT ALL about MAGA?
That was a quandary.
There’s a lot to be said for “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” but it’s certainly not cast in stone. Ukraine was deeply corrupt long before Hunter ever signed on to Burisma. Zelensky and his band of elites have little problem with soldier dying for big bucks to pad their bank accounts. Russia, not just Putin, would love to have Ukraine back under their control for a lot of very good reasons. With essentially year round open water access and major agricultural advantages to go with the pipeline access to Western Europe, Ukraine is very valuable to Russia.
Off topic, but speaking of conservative radio hosts, is Savage still around? I seem to remember he was a virulent anti trumper, but maybe I’m mixing him up with Levin. I stopped listening to him when I couldn’t stand his constant screaming and tangents.
Mark Levin not reading the room...
we don’t support Ukrane either mark.
Sorry (not sorry)
I like Mark Levin, he has always been very pro Ukraine, he can have his opinion and I can have mine we can have differing opinions about issues its fine
Mark is a bit off the mark here. Zeke is a grifter and a punk. Putin is bad too. The two of them have cost us enough.
Not my favorite, but I respect him, so this is puzzling.
Zelenskyy is not Ukraine. Putin isn’t Russia. And this war with Russia is not our war.
It’s already got two losers and was bringing us toward WW3.
Mark Levin is great at scholarship. Donald Trump is a brilliant problem solver, and Levin of all people should take the long view and realize that there are other solutions to the problem of Russia-Ukraine relations, and who shall find them? An impatient historian? A cash vacuum in fatigues? A post-imperial Russian strongman? Or a US president named Donald Trump?
“Contradictory statement. They may be pressed to ally with China for exports of raw materials. They need cash and China is a trading partner.”
On top of that Russia is FAR STRONGER both militarily and economically...since the Neocons started their war in Ukraine. In fact, their military is now nearly TWICE the size of what it was before the war, and that change is permanent. Also, the WORLD BANK now classifies Russia as a “High Income Country”, and that upgrade was done in 2023, DURING the war.
