Utah Sen. Mike Lee deleted a tweet about remarks Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made that were taken out of context and wrongly made it sound like Zelenskyy demanded that Americans send their sons and daughters to fight against Russia.
CNN reported Thursday that a fact check of Zelenskyy's comments that were circulating in a 19-second video that was viewed millions of times on Twitter were taken out of context.
According to CNN, Lee shared former Trump administration official William Wolfe's tweet of the video in which Wolfe claimed that Zelenskyy wants "dead Americans on Ukrainian soil." Lee deleted his tweet after CNN told his office Wednesday about how the video was taken out of context. "I would like to thank all of the American people that are supporting Ukraine — the Congress, the president, the TV channels, the journalists, and everyone that has been supporting us," per the interpreter.Zelenskyy also urged the U.S. to avoid losing its position of "leadership" in the world, asked Americans to see the Ukrainian people as similar to themselves, and said that while Ukraine enjoys "bipartisan support" in the U.S.
