Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch and Injured Reporter Benjamin Hall Meet with Ukrainian President
Zelensky Awards Hall Order of Merit, Emphasizes Need for Continued Global Attention on Ukraine War
- Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch and Fox News reporter Benjamin Hall met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Ukraine, marking Hall's first visit since he was injured in a Russian missile attack in March 2022.
- Zelensky awarded Hall with the Order of Merit, III class, and Hall conducted an interview with Zelensky, which will air during Tuesday’s Special Report with Bret Baier.
- The meeting comes amid growing resistance from Republicans in Congress to further funding for Ukraine's war effort, reflecting growing animosity toward the war from conservatives, Fox News's primary viewership.
- Zelensky emphasized the need to keep the world's attention focused on the war in Ukraine, stating that for Ukrainians, the war is not a movie but their daily lives.
- Murdoch's visit is seen as a 'very important signal' of support at a time when global media attention has shifted from the war in Ukraine.
