"Trump’s claim is not even close to accurate," and Daniel Dale brought dozens of receipts to prove it.
President Donald Trump on Sunday made numerous false claims about Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine and besieged leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy, with one allegation so easily disproven that CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale couldn’t help but debunk it.
“Trump’s claim is not even close to accurate,” Dale wrote late Monday night on CNN.com.
The Trump administration has given Ukraine until Thursday to approve its proposal to end the conflict with Russia or lose U.S. military support, with Trump claiming on social media that “UKRAINE ‘LEADERSHIP’ HAS EXPRESSED ZERO GRATITUDE FOR OUR EFFORTS.”
Dale noted in his extensive column Monday that Zelenskyy has done so numerous times since Russia launched its invasion in 2022, citing a whopping 78 examples spanning from January of that year to this past Sunday — after Trump criticized Zelenskyy as ungrateful.
“Zelensky has said it on social media, sometimes tagging Trump’s account,” wrote Dale. “He has said it to Trump face-to-face. He has said it to Trump appointees and members of Congress. He has said it in Ukraine, in the US, and in other countries.”
