Zelensky approval rating data in Ukraine

[KaiserDave]

Zelenskyy is basically the FDR of Ukraine.

He'll always be known as one of the great.

And he has been succesful in defending Ukraine so far. Doubt that every Ukrainian leader would have been succesful in getting international support for their cause.

Churchill is a better comparison IMO.

Also pleasantly surprised to see you praise him.

Interestingly, Zelenskyy does not love the Churchill comparisons nor is he particularly inspired by the man.

Since taking office, Zelensky has read about Winston Churchill, the historical figure to whom he has most often been compared in recent months. Yet he recoils at the suggestion that they have anything in common. “People say different things about him,” Zelensky notes dryly, making clear that he has no admiration for Churchill’s record as an imperialist. Ukraine’s President would prefer to be associated with other figures of Churchill’s era, like the author George Orwell, or with the great comedian who lampooned Hitler in the middle of the Holocaust. “I’ve raised the example of Charlie Chaplin,” Zelensky told me on the train, “how he used the weapon of information during the Second World War to fight against fascism. You see, there were these artists who helped society, because they had a lot of admirers, and their influence was often stronger than artillery.”
