Zelenskyy’s ratings are not 4%. They are about the same as Trump’s – former British Prime Minister Johnson
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has responded to US President Donald Trump's controversial statements about the allegedly "low rating" of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the situation in Ukraine in general.
He wrote about this on the social network X, Censor.NET reports.
"When will we Europeans stop being outraged by Donald Trump and start helping him end this war?" - Johnson said.
The day before, Trump spoke about the need to hold elections in Ukraine, noting that this was due to an "objective situation." In addition, he said that the rating of Ukrainians' trust in President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had allegedly fallen to 4%.
"Of course, a country undergoing a violent invasion should not hold elections. There was no general election in the UK from 1935 to 1945. Of course, Zelenskyy's ratings are not 4%. In fact, they are about the same as Trump's," Boris Johnson emphasized.
He believes that Trump's statements "are not meant to be historically accurate - they are meant to shock the Europeans and motivate them to act."
Johnson also mentioned $300 billion in frozen Russian assets, which are mostly in Belgium.
"That is cash that could and should be used to pay Ukraine and compensate the US for its support. Why is Europe preventing the unfreezing of Putin’s cash? The US believes Belgium, France and other countries are blocking. It’s absurd. We need to get serious and fast," the former British prime minister summarized.
Trump's statement on Zelensky's rating
The day before, Trump said that Ukraine needs to hold elections because Zelenskyy's approval rating has dropped to 4%.
As of the first half of February 2025, 57% of Ukrainians trust President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, while 37% do not, according to a KIIS study.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the statements about his 4% rating disinformation.
