seen through Elensky Number 5 glasses:

Masculine little feller, ain't he?

But Zelensky does happen to be extremely masculine.
I wouldn’t care if he was a pansy, but he doesn’t happen to be one.
Athletic when younger, deep booming voice, gorgeous wife and family, leading a country in war against a super power and with assassination threats.
He happens to exude masculinity, which is why he’s still there.
