Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : Earlier this week Trump had claimed that the Ukraine leader had an approval rating of '4 per cent'.
58% : " Indeed, Russian leaders have praised the White House, with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov saying that Trump "understands our position.
44% : Bankrupt clown..." Ukrainian and international leaders expressed their support for Zelensky after the claims from Trump and Musk, and argued the White House is playing into Putin's hands.
42% : The post claimed that "U.S. intelligence" suggests the Ukrainian leader only has four percent support, a differential the poster claimed was because the institute was funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the foreign aid agency that Musk has repeatedly claimed without evidence is a "criminal organization.
38% : On Thursday Musk took to the stage with Argentinian president Javier Milei at the Conservative Political Action Conference, where he held up a chainsaw - replicating a previous stunt by Milei to represent the cuts he planned to government spending.
33% : Trump later said Zelensky was a "dictator" who had "better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left". Musk's post also vowed to "fix" X's Community Notes feature, after accusing "governments and legacy media" of gaming the crowd-sourced fact-checking feature.
30% : Professor Olga Onuch of The University of Manchester, who regularly conducts survey work in Ukraine, including alongside the sociology institute, has said Trump and Musk's claims do not reflect the leader's current support in Ukraine.
19% : The war of words first erupted on Tuesday, after Trump said Ukraine should "never have started" the war with Russia, before Ukraine's president accused him of being clouded by misinformation sowed by Russia.
12% : Trump and Musk have been accused of playing into Russia's heavily distorted narrative of its invasion of the country.
10% : "President Trump is right to ignore him and solve for peace independent of the disgusting, massive graft machine feeding off the dead bodies of Ukrainian soldiers," he added, appearing to echo Trump's accusation that he wants to use the war to keep foreign aid coming into Ukraine.
