When Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky quickly became a global symbol of resistance.
Celebrated as a heroic leader standing up against a powerful foe, he appeared on television screens worldwide, calling for support and unity in the face of the Russian threat.
However, beneath this image of a brave wartime leader lies a far more complex and troubling reality.
Zelensky's rise to power and subsequent actions indicate that he is not merely the victim of an unjust invasion but a figurehead influenced by external forces.
As President Trump pointed out in his controversial remarks, the reality is that Zelensky's actions and alliances tell a different story — one that portrays him more as a puppet of the West than a true statesman.
Volodymyr Zelensky’s backstory is distinctive. Before entering politics, he was an actor and comedian, starring in the popular Ukrainian TV show "Servant of the People," where he played a high school teacher who unexpectedly became Ukraine's president.
Although it was a fictional premise, the show resonated with many Ukrainians, reflecting their dissatisfaction with the political establishment and their desire for change. What began as a clever satirical narrative soon transformed into a tragic reality: Zelensky, known for portraying the president on television, became the actual president of Ukraine.
Zelensky’s election in 2019 was fueled by his connection to the T.V. show and the "Servant of the People" political party.
Much like his acting career, this party was influenced by the media. While Zelensky presented himself as an outsider committed to reforming the corrupt political system, his ascent to power was not organic. His campaign was meticulously orchestrated by political consultants and Western interests, making his transition from comedian to president more about foreign influence than democratic choice.

One more thing, instead of attacking me, explain why Trump voted at the UN to defend Russia’s invasion. Go ahead explain it, you’re so smart.
You don’t know who in the hell you are talking to, and you are as rude as hell.
Biden was not my fault at all.
The EU is not the Fourth Reich. Get a grip on reality.
You have less than zero common since if you think I was for Kamala. How about a royal FU for even thinking such rubbish.
I voted for Trump all three times. I really don’t have to explain myself to a buffoon such as you.
I strongly believe it is in the best interest of the free world to stop Putin and the USSR 2.0.
I trusted Trump to do what is right. On this issue he is sorely disappointing. Your “NeverTrump” bullshit is just that.
Is this “USSR 2.0.” a new zeeper catchphrase ?
It is actually not new. Putin has been driving towards recreating the Soviet Union for a long time.
By the way wtf is a zeeper? Something Tucker whispers in your ear?
My, My. Did I make the baby mad? You are definitely triggered. I definitely hit too close to home…
Your hilarious and incredibly childish and ignorant little temper tantrum only proves my original post to be correct. I appreciate the amusement; I needed it.
It’s “Ukraine First” and “America Last” with your kind. Check my new tagline.
Please do not post to me ever again. I only converse with adults. Preferably adults who don’t put the interests of a corrupt, Anti-American Third World country over the interest of the US.
BTW, George Soros approves of your opinion regarding Ukraine. Proud?

Oh no, don’t post to me, I’m a fragile girl.
You can be rude but just can’t take it.
You do have Putin’s talking points down pact. I’ll give you credit for that.
