In a Truth Social post on Wednesday morning, President Donald Trump called Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky a “dictator” due to the lack of elections in the war-torn country.
Zelensky was elected as Ukraine’s president in 2019. Ukraine’s next presidential election was originally set for 2024, but it was not conducted due to the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022. The imposition of martial law, which legally prohibits elections, has prevented the vote from taking place.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded to comments made by President Donald Trump on Wednesday, saying that Trump was trapped in a Russian “disinformation space” with regard to his statements about Zelenskyy’s approval rating.
Trump had claimed at Mar-a-Lago that Zelenskyy’s approval stood at a mere 4%. In a press briefing in Kyiv, Zelenskyy refuted this, stating, “we have seen this disinformation. We understand that it is coming from Russia.” He continued, asserting that Trump “lives in this disinformation space.”

Trump made the remark during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago after his US delegation concluded discussions with Russian officials in Saudi Arabia. He noted that Ukraine has not held any elections for some time, citing the imposition of martial law in the country.
“We have a situation where we haven’t had elections in Ukraine, where we have martial law, essentially martial law in Ukraine,” Trump stated.
Trump argued that Zelensky, who was elected in 2019, currently has an approval rating of just 4%, even though polls show his popularity to be slightly above 50%.

Santa Rosa. Paradise. Boulder County. Lahaina. Los Angeles. All are places that have shown that American cities and their water systems weren’t built to withstand wildfire, experts say. Hydrants trickled. Pumps and treatment plants lost power. Chemical contaminants were sucked into pipes, requiring extensive and costly work. In Paradise alone, where the 2018 Camp Fire killed at least 85 people and destroyed more than 18,000 structures, rebuilding the drinking water system is expected to cost $125 million and take three-and-a half more years. As wildfires grow more frequent and intense with climate change, and become a greater threat to cities, water utilities are reckoning with the reality that they must build back better.
