Williams: "He had been a hero for his country..."

JonPreston: "His country is America's military proxy, and he survives by doing the bidding of the absolute worst, most corrupt politicians the West can produce.
The only thing heroic about him is his uncanny ability to strip out the wealth from middle class Americans and steal it for himself and his inner circle."

All that is pure Russian propaganda nonsense.
The truth is that Zelensky has been heroic in defending his country against Russia's blatant revanchist empire building aggressions.
In that, he has been compared to Churchill, with many parallels to cite, including Britain's dependence on support from the US and many other countries adding to the UK's circa 3.5 million troops, including:

  1. USA -- 3 million troops, billions of dollars
  2. India -- 1.4 million troops
  3. Canada -- 630,000 troops
  4. Australia -- 400,000 troops
  5. New Zealand -- 130,000 troops
  6. South Africa -- 135,000 troops
  7. Other colonies -- 135,000 troops
  8. Free French -- 1,300,000 troops
  9. Polish exiles -- 200,000 troops
We might also notice that Churchill and Zelensky are roughly the same height, though the older Churchill was doubtless heavier.

As far as corrupt western politicians, sadly, that's all too true, however not unique to today.
Churchill also had to deal with the most corrupt of corrupt leaders, notably Joseph Stalin.
