THE TELEGRAPH: Volodymyr Zelensky is “despised” by the Ukrainian people and is “feeding off the dead bodies” of his countrymen, Elon Musk claimed.
Parroting criticisms voiced by Donald Trump, Mr Musk wrote on X that Mr Zelensky’s approval ratings have slumped and accused the Ukrainian leader of rigging online opinion polls and the media to boost his popularity, without citing evidence.
“If Zelensky was actually loved by the people of Ukraine, he would hold an election,” the tech billionaire said. “He knows he would lose in a landslide, despite having seized control of ALL Ukrainian media, so he cancelled the election.
“In reality, he is despised by the people of Ukraine, which is why he has refused to hold an election.”
He went on to challenge Mr Zelensky to call an election and claimed Mr Trump is justified in freezing the Ukrainian leader out of peace negotiations. » | Kieran Kelly. Jack Maidment, Politics Live Blog Editor. Cameron Henderson. Dominic Penna, Political Correspondent | Thursday, February 20, 2025
