The Facts

  • Former US Pres. Donald Trump will not meet Ukrainian Pres. Volodymyr Zelenskyy this week, an insider from the Republican presidential candidate's team told the Associated Press on Tuesday.

  • Zelenskyy was in the US for two days of UN General Assembly meetings this week. On Thursday, he is scheduled to meet US Pres. Joe Biden before meeting Vice Pres. Kamala Harris, the Democrat presidential candidate, later in the day.


The Spin

Left narrative

Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin invades Ukraine and who does Trump blame? The United States of America. The man who consistently sides with Russia over his own country is not fit to be president.

Right narrative

Under Democrat leadership, numerous new conflicts have started — bringing us as close to World War III as we've ever been. Russia's invasion of Ukraine would never have happened under Trump and he knows exactly how to fix the situation.
