Zelenskyy Denies Claim That He Took Cocaine with Macron

President Volodymyr Zelensky denied allegations that he used cocaine with French President Emmanuel Macron during a recent interview in Kyiv with MAGA influencer Laura Loomer, laughing and replying, "Of course not."
Rumors about Zelensky taking drugs with Macron were amplified on the American right in 2024, notably by Tucker Carlson, prompting the president to address the claims during his recent visit with Loomer.
During the meeting at the Marrinsky Palace, Loomer told Zelensky she had been "bamboozled by Russian propaganda" and previously labeled Ukraine a "country full of Nazi apologists," to which Zelensky countered by stressing, "We are not Nazis."
Zelensky described his relationship with President Donald Trump as "better and really good" since they met for around 15 minutes at the Vatican last year, noting the tone has "changed, absolutely."
The Ukrainian president is scheduled to visit Washington next week to attend the funeral of Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, coinciding with ongoing efforts by Washington and Kyiv to revive diplomatic initiatives regarding the war.
