    No, Zelenskiy is NOT a fluent English speaker. His spoken English is very limited and he would certainly need a translator to speak in the manner in which this memo suggests he did.https://twitter.com/jbenton/status/1176864974779478016 …

    Joshua BentonVerified account @jbenton
    The transcript text is right around 2,000 words, and the call took exactly 30 min — that's about 66 words per minute. That's quite slow — roughly half normal speaking rate. (Zelensky is fluent in English.) Could suggest how much text isn't included. https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Unclassified09.2019.pdf …

        I heard him speak. He’s an intermediate ESL speaker. I was actually surprised.

        Pretty sure he was reading some blocks of text there, he does the same in Russia including on his debates with Poroshenko. In some cases its obvious he went of script that makes me think it wasn't through translator. Translator i'm sure was nearby

        It's impressive how many journalists don't really bother to do some basic research on Ukraine or its President 🤔

        Any research would require them doing their jobs. We all know that’s not going to happen

        But he's reading a script. Not the same as conversational fluency.
