Who Will be remembered as the biggest "Villain" for Ukraine ?

Discuss.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Depends on where we're talking about. Ukraine? Russia? Collective West as whole? Third World as a whole? China? India?
As a whole though, I suspect Putin will be the top villain in the eyes of most Westerners no matter how things end up.

[Middle-aged Europe]

Putin, and it's not even close.

[West_Midlander]

Who said Zelensky?

[OSR stands with Israel]

Putin obviously. The better question would be Putin Vs the Leader of the Separatists vs  Yanukovych

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Who said Zelensky?

I suspect many people would say Zelensky, but the types who would say that would be disproportionately likely NOT to be posters on this forum.

I don’t see how you could argue that Putin isn’t the big bad when it comes to the Ukraine War.

[Mr. Smith]

Depends:

Is Ukraine a stalemate or victory for them? Putin.

Is Ukraine Vietnam 2.0?  Zelensky because victors write history and Russia lurves propaganda.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Given that Russia's strategic defeat is already guaranteed regardless of where the war goes from here, I doubt Putin will be remember favorably by anyone, even within Russia. If anything, a Russian operational "victory" (in the sense of achieving control of the 4 annexed oblasts, which is the most they can realistically hope for at this point and still a massive stretch) will only make Putin's legacy worse, as it will guarantee more suffering for both the Russian and Ukrainian peoples, which they're bound to remember for generations to come.
