Is ZELENSKY a hero or a ZERO?

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the President of Ukraine, widely known for his leadership during Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Before entering politics, he was a comedian and actor, famously starring in the TV show Servant of the People, where he played a teacher who accidentally becomes president—a role that became reality when he won Ukraine’s 2019 election in a landslide.

Many people see Zelenskyy as a hero for his resilience and refusal to flee Kyiv when the war began, famously saying, "I need ammunition, not a ride." His leadership has inspired Ukrainians and gained international support, with him frequently addressing world leaders and securing military aid. He is often compared to historical wartime leaders like Winston Churchill.

However, not everyone sees him as a hero. Some critics argue that he has suppressed opposition, controlled media narratives, and mishandled Ukraine’s internal issues. There is also debate over his government's handling of corruption and Western financial aid.

Ultimately, whether Zelenskyy is a hero depends on perspective—many admire his courage and leadership under fire, while others question his long-term governance.
