Joe Rogan was labeled an apologist for Vladimir Putin by a Ukrainian boxing legend and brother of the mayor of Kyiv on Sunday. It follows a sensational assertion by the podcaster, UFC commentator and fervent supporter of President-elect Donald Trump that the actions of President Joe Biden could lead to an escalation of the raging fighting with Russia and even start World War III.

Joe Rogan has been accused of “spreading Russian propaganda” by a Ukrainian champion boxer after he claimed the country’s leaders and the United States risked starting the Third World War.

Former boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko, whose brother is the mayor of Kyiv, slammed Joe Rogan for spreading "Russian propaganda" on his podcast.
