President Biden 0:00
They are not thinking about how to end the war, but about how to manage to destroy and capture more while the world allows them to conduct this war.

That was Ukrainian President Zelensky addressing his nation and the world. Ukraine is not going to be bullied by the United States into submission to Russia. As Ukrainian President Zelensky has stood up to Donald Trump, his approval in Ukraine is actually soaring right now. Article sums it up nicely from Reuters. Zelensky's approval rating rises in Ukraine after Trump spat. Poll shows it says how President Zelensky's approval has now gone up by 10 percentage points since the White House attack on him in the Oval Office by Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. This according to kind of the leading pollster in Ukraine. The poll was done by the Kyiv International Institute. of sociology, and it showed that 67% of respondents now trusted Zelensky in March.
Ben Meiselas 1:10
That's up 57% a month earlier. Now, this is significant because in Donald Trump's speeches as well, Donald Trump said that Zelensky had a 4% approval rating. Of course, everything Donald Trump says is a lie, but let me remind you of what Trump said. Let's play that clip.
Donald Trump 1:29
Thank you. Yes.

We're hearing that Russia wants to force Ukraine to hold new elections in order to sign any kind of a peace deal. Is that something that the U.S. would ever support?
Donald Trump 1:42
Well, we have a situation where we haven't had elections in Ukraine. Well, we have martial law, essentially martial law in Ukraine, where the leader in Ukraine, I mean, I hate to say it, but he's down at 4% approval rating. And where our country has been blown to smithereens. You got most of the cities are laying on their sides. The buildings are collapsed. It looks like a massive demolition site. The whole, I mean, so many of the cities. I mean, they haven't done it in Kiev because I guess they don't want to shoot too many rockets in there. They've done it 20%, but they haven't done it 100%. If they wanted to do it 100%, it would probably happen very quickly. But you have cities that are absolutely decimated.
Donald Trump 2:28
And, yeah, I would say that, you know, when they want a seat at the table, you could say the people have to... Wouldn't the people of Ukraine have to say, like, you know, it's been a long time since we've had an election? That's not a Russia thing. That's something coming from me and coming from many other countries also. You know, Ukraine is being just wiped out. Look at what's happening to the cities. There are cities, there's not even a building standing. It's a massive... You talk about Gaza. I mean, it's literally these cities look like Gaza.

Now we see Zelensky's support here in the United States as well. You know, yes, there is a hardcore MAGA kind of brain dead cult group that's going to listen to anything Donald Trump says, including the Trump regime, making alliances with the United States and the access of evil, joining Russia, Russia, North Korea, Belarus and Hungary in United Nations declarations, basically in opposition to Ukraine, opposing condemnations of Russia. But take a look this from this weekend in Denver. And we saw protests like this and rallies like this across the United States. I know a lot of corporate media is not covering it. We cover these here in the United States. Denver stands with Ukraine.
Anna from Ukraine 3:52
What are we to you pray? Justice for you pray. Do not betray you pray.
Ben Meiselas 4:05
Now, as Donald Trump and Elon Musk and the Trump regime have cut off intelligence to Ukraine, cut off military aid, and it does seem that the Trump administration, or I should say the Trump regime, may be providing intelligence to Russia. We've seen an increase in the attacks on Ukraine, significant escalation by Russia being cheered on, by the way, by the Trump regime. Although the Trump regime promised peace in 24 hours, they are now trying to, or they immediately tried to do a deal with Ukraine to steal Ukraine's rare earth minerals, to steal the minerals belonging to Ukraine. And there's no peace in Ukraine, if anything, an escalation by Russia because of Trump's conduct.
