With his country under siege from Russian forces, Ukraine's President has been posting defiant videos from the streets of the capital, Kyiv.
John Oliver Blasts CNN, Applebee's for Ad Gaffe During Ukraine Air-Raid Coverage, Calls Putin a 'B****'Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, Volodymyr Zelensky has become the voice of his people. In a series of videos posted on social media since the attacks, Zelensky appears strong, determined, and, well, presidential.
Given that Zelensky had only days earlier revealed an intelligence estimate that he was “target number one” of the Russian forces entering the city, Zelensky’s decision to broadcast his location was remarkable.When the United States offered to evacuate Zelenskyy from the city, he reportedly said: “The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.”
Zelensky’s knowledge and ease with social media have proved a powerful tool in the current crisis, as has his ability to speak directly to Russian citizens via Telegram, knowing that his speeches denouncing Putin and debunking his claims for the true reasons behind the Ukraine invasion will never been shown on Russian state television.
