Zelenskyy denies claim he took cocaine with Macron in interview with far-right MAGA influencer

‘Of course never, of course not’

Zelenskyy denied the claims in the interview with Laura Loomer, who is a close ally of US President Donald Trump and also a conspiracy theorist, like a majority of Trump’s supporters.

After she spent the last three years downplaying Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Loomer travelled to meet the Ukrainian president and witness the impact of the war in Kyiv.

Previously, Loomer had labelled Ukraine a “country full of Nazi apologists” and had claimed that they were being led “by a Jihadi apologist”.

That said, the hardline right-wing activist has changed her stance in recent months and met with Zelenskyy at the Marrinsky Palace.

“I’ve come to realise that I was bamboozled by Russian propaganda and I came to believe a lot of untrue things about Ukraine”, she told Zelenskyy.

How the rumours of Zelenskyy doing drugs with Macron spread

It was another figure on America’s right, Tucker Carlson, who amplified rumours about Zelenskyy taking Class A drugs with the French president.

“Of course never, of course not”, Zelenskyy said as he laughed, when asked about the story.

Zelenskyy explained the history of Soviet persecution of Judaism in Ukraine and stressed: “We are not Nazis”, as he responded to Russian propaganda of Nazism in his country.

The Ukrainian president also revealed said that he is due to visit Washington next week for the funeral of Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, and is expecting to see Trump.

Over the years, the relationship between the two leaders has been fraught with tension.

Their meeting even resulted in a shouting match in the Oval Office where Zelenskyy was criticised for not wearing a suit.

However, now the relationship is “better and really good” since they met in the Vatican last year, Zelenskyy told Loomer during the interview.
