MAGA radio host and Fox personality Mark Levin issued a scathing takedown of Republican President Donald Trump by exposing his lies about Ukraine and its President Volodomyr Zelenskyy.
Trump has continued to dissolve relations between the US and Ukraine by spewing false claims about Zelenskyy and blaming him for the war that Russia started when they invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
The Ukrainian President responded by stating that Trump lives in a "disinformation space."
Earlier this week, the Trump administration said US officials have agreed to continue talks with Russia to end the conflict after an initial meeting in Saudi Arabia that excluded Kyiv from participating.
On Wednesday, Trump railed against Zelenskyy on Truth Social, calling him "a modestly successful comedian" who "talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldnβt be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and 'TRUMP,' will never be able to settle."
Trump also revisited his erroneous claim that Zelenskyy "refuses to have Elections, is very low in Ukrainian Polls."
Despite Trump's claim, Zelenskyy was democratically elected in a fair and free election and won in what has become the biggest landslide in the history of Ukrainian presidential elections.
It's worth mentioning that under its constitution, Ukraine must postpone elections under martial law during times of war, which the country was forced to do due to the Russian invasion.
Levin, who is MAGA through and through, weighed in on Trump's misleading claims on his eponymous The Mark Levin Show and set the record straight on several of Trump's lies about Ukraine and Zelenskyy.

Levin started:
βNow look, I donβt have a problem if itβs the position of our administration to cut back on support for Ukraineβwhich I oppose, by the wayβthen so be it."
"Elections have consequences, so be it. But I want to make sure the facts are on the table and you, the American people, draw your own conclusion," said Levin, adding that βMAGA doesnβt support Putin.β
He continued:
βZelensky ordered martial lawβthatβs what the constitution there compelled. Zelensky hasnβt called for an electionβthatβs what the constitution there compels.β
βNow, Iβm waiting for the first free election for Vladimir Putin. I mean, this is almost comical in a sick way that Putin is demanding an election."
"Why is he demanding an election in Ukraine when he doesnβt have free and real elections in his own country? And why does he-, why does he get to call the shots when in fact, he murders people who dare to challenge him?β

Levin added:
βThis is what weβre dealing with. Again, old KBG, and not just KBG, he [Putin] was in like Flynn with the Stasi in East Germany. So, I donβt know why there are people that not only oppose Zelenskyy but seem to support Putin.β
He attributed the vilification of Zelenskyy to "pseudo-intellectuals" peddling βpolicies that in many ways are un-American in my view, and policies that if they had espoused these policies not that long ago, people would have wondered if they were on the take, or who theyβre working for, something like that. Not that they are, but they would wonder.β
After Trump claimed that Zelenskyy's approval rating was at 4%, Levin stated:
βAnd so Zelenskyβs latest poll, heβs at 57%. The parliamentβwith all parties in the parliamentβsupport what heβs doing."
"Theyβre trying to survive. Ukraine did not invade Russia. Russia invaded Ukraine.β
"Ukraine doesnβt have the industrial might that a Russia hasβor a China. A relatively small population of around 40 million people, mostly agricultural country, mostly an agricultural country. They didnβt start this war."
"What were they supposed to do? Roll over and play dead? Eighty-one percent of the American people do not trust Putin because 81% of the American people are smart.β
βBecause the men and women in this country whoβve been in the military whoβve fought wars, they understand, their families understand, I understand there needs to be peace between these two countries and I think Donald Trump is uniquely able to do that, to pull it off, I really do."
"But there cannot be peace at any cost. Reagan used to talk about this, Churchill used to talk about it, FDR used to talk about it, Patton used to talk about it. There is no peace without slavery."
"If Ukraine is making preposterous demands that cannot be met, thatβs another problem, thatβs another problem. But the idea that Ukraine must hold elections in violation of its own constitution as a condition for peace, or that Ukraine must give up more territory as a condition for peaceβ¦ you have to understand the Ukrainian people donβt want to do that."
"Thatβs why Zelensky is at 57%, higher than most politicians in our own country!β
People were shook over Levin's surprising pivot to rebuke Trump.
WOW. Trump sucking up to war criminal Putin is so bad that even Mark Levin, one of the biggest sycophants on Fox News, couldn't remain silent

Is there a shred of hope for us all? Users continue keeping their fingers crossed.

Levin's remarks hold significance given his well-documented allegiance to Trump.
In 2023, Levin vehemently backed Trump during the Republican presidential primaries against his challenger at the time, GOP Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
"We, the American people, need to stand behind this guy," Levin once said of Trump, adding, "There's not another Republican that I can think of who can fight back and fight back this way."
"He's the guy, and they know it," said Levin.
