President Zelenskyy is Winston Churchill 2022: Glory to Ukraine

President Zelenskyy in 2022 is to Ukraine what Winston Churchill was to England in World War II:  

Support for Zelenskyy: Echo opinion letter published in the Lynchburg News and Advance newspaper, in Virginia. 

He was a comedian, an actor. His campaign started out as a practical joke. He had no prior political experience. Many in the West didn’t back him. Many were skeptical of this young, charismatic man. I didn’t align politically with him. I questioned his sincerity, his ability to rule, and his intentions.

President Volodymyr  Zelenskyy implores the world to "wake up" as Russia attacks Europe's largest nuclear plant, addressing "everyone who knows the word Chernobyl".

Now, he is my hero. Hero of a country, the prime example of leadership for the world. A demonstrator of sacrificial love. The image of strength and determination. 

He is Volodymyr Zelenskyy, rightful president and ruler of Ukraine. I watch him from afar, questioning whether he will live through the night. He is the prime target of Russia, and yet he fights willingly on the front lines of his beloved country. Refusing to accept the United States’ offer to evacuate him from almost certain death, he rallies his people to defend their freedom. Dirt on his face with a weapon in his hands, his fate lays directly in front of him; he will either lead his people to victory, or he will lead his people to an honorable death.

His declaration to the U.S., “I need ammunition, not a ride out.” His declaration to Russia, “By attacking, you will see our faces, not our backs, but our faces.” He does not say this in hopes of war. He made his stance on war clear, “People lose money, reputation, quality of life, they lose freedom, but the main thing is that people lose their loved ones, they lose themselves.” Despite these dangers, he chose to remain with his people. Not just as president, but as a leader. He recently stated, “This may be the last time you will see me alive.” I hope not; no one wants to see their hero die.
