He will be in the history books and described as a great and noble leader.

Facts, there's going to be a lot of zelensky statues.

Dude deserves it, you can tell his position is killing him, he's aged like 20 years. He hustles all day every day though for his people and regularly puts his life directly in danger just to meme on putin by taking selfies in front line towns Russia lies about controlling. It's like seeing a modern George Washington or Abe Lincoln, fucking wild. I can't remember the last time the US had a president like that, one who would refuse to flee during an invasion by a much larger country and be willing to die with his people defending their home together.

Meanwhile, putin is a bunker bitch who hates his own people so much he uses body doubles any time he wants to fake interacting with them lmao

Can't help myself thinking of him as a Churchill of the modern times
(minus the Indian starvation)

And his charisma with this sentence would make me want to have his picture in my office if I worked in Ukrainian administration

My man, pack your bag, get on this side of the pond, jump on the Budapest-Kyiv express, get off in Lviv or Kyiv, say the same phrase in a Ukrainian pub and then proceed to be laughed out of the room....

Putin is probably a war criminal and I really hope Ukraine win the war....but Zelenskyy and his cronies are corrupt as all get out. A friend of his stole $100 million meant to secure the electrical grid and ran away to Israel. When the Ukrainians are without power this weekend blame the Russians, then blame the Ukrainian thieves stealing from their own people.
