“Welcome to the fortress.” Meeting the president, deep in the body of Ukraine’s war machine

he white metal gates creak open, revealing spruce trees and sandbags. “Welcome to the fortress,” says a presidential aide. Squinting, you can see the snipers: left, right, up and down. The air-defence systems, huge chunks of metal, are easier to spot. When the gates close, a soldier picks up a red, a secure government phone from the Soviet era, and asks for orders.

More fumbling along darkened corridors and, abruptly, we find ourselves in Ukraine’s situation room. With its white formica table, high-backed chairs and large screens, it could be a corporate meeting room, but for the words emblazoned on each side, yellow on blue: “Office of the President of Ukraine”. For the past four weeks, as Zelensky has posted, telegrammed and tweeted, this backdrop has become famous. A serious-looking soldier enters.

He engages with the conversation, firing back quick, friendly, sometimes mischievous answers, and strokes his beard as he speaks. Asked what he needs most from the West he immediately responds: “Number one, aeroplanes,” a smile flickers across his eyes: “Number two, but it’s really number one, tanks.” It comes as a surprise when he occasionally breaks his flow. “What does a Ukrainian victory look like?” we ask him.

Kinda sounds like the rise of Nxxi Hxxxxer.

Oligarch conduit

“… world statesman…” Am I reading the Economists or am I reading the Mad Magazine? Am I supposed to laugh or not to laugh? Or you want Sir Winston Churchill to rise from his grave and kick your ass for abusing the term and use it on an idiot who put his country in harm’s s way?

Well, he was already rich and powerful. He fails to understand he is a western stool pigeon.

That is why he is just a cartoon

Does it take a fool to be a fool on stage?! Does a hero always die for his believe? No, acting is not a fools game nor is a hero must die to be one! Heroes fight for their believe until they win!

The US has instilled a lot of puppet regimes over the years for their own purposes

New found criminal status

This ☝️🐴💩 is the most disgusting propaganda out there. Once a 🤡, always a 🤡, but now he's a puppet too. He ain't no hero, just a Muppet with 9 zeros in front of his name. Our war, our arms, our money.

He’s NOT A HERO,BUT A VILLAIN (Zelensky).

World statesman Don't make me laugh.

Sure, with the help of propaganda rags like

ZelenskyyUa - это 🤢🤮, пишу из Одессы, Украина. Он является пустым местом, и все это понимают. Им полностью руководят из США и Британии.

What was that comment? From comic actor to 'world statesman' in just 3 years? 😂😂 Anyway, the guy is reportedly earning 11 Million US Dollars per MONTH. I had no idea the presidency of Ukraine pays so well 🤯

Never thought I’d follow the economist solely to keep up with fresh lies from the government

Hero 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Help Ukrain

and his Pro Ukraine propaganda. Episode 6384.

Funny how he has acting experience.

Héroe 🤣!!!! Títere Satánico lame botas del cabal genocida 💉 bufón cocainoico, sádico pervertidos. Lindo Héroe se han elegido. Me dan risa.

Because the stage has changed, in the right position, even a small character can cast a huge shadow.

he is undoubtedly a great guy and progressed beyond a rookie politico... But do you really know the meaning of a 'statesman'? He has NOT shown anything yet, to start calling that! By that count - Kardashian & Rudy will also be in that hall!

ZelenskyHero 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦✌️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

O Descendants of Adam, beware! Do not let Satan put you in trial the way he removed your parents from Paradise and had their garments removed so that their shame become visible to them.

A leader!

Dert. Wait for a while. The war has just began, latter the west will sell him to Russia. Just wait.

Biden and the Chief Guide of Ukraine)

Oh please.

“World statesman”? 😀

…and a media apparatus eager for a marketable narrative.

He has played the role well. The role was and continues to be completely scripted however.

A world statesman who can't even issue any directive against the people pulling the strings, everyone knows who is boss here and who is a puppet....But sooner, the truth will be unveiled.

😂

He's not. He thinks worthless concepts like nations and sovereignty are worth more than human lives and continues to sacrifice real human life for imaginary lines and names on maps. He's an absolute monster. No nation is worth a single life. Be it America, Ukraine, or any other.

He is not a hero. A hero will never resolve differences by war. Hummm,maybe America hero.

We all know it's not about him but the Agenda and he's just there as a mindless drone in the hands of his initiated handlers, the so called enlightened ones who stir the world & it's narratives in a predetermined direction. Zelensky is just busy doing drugs.

World statesman in your head and not in reality. This coward comedian and his master. Zelenskyy told what to do and how to behave by uncle SAM.

He is proof we are in upside down times, hes made a lot of money, if all the money sent to ukraine was divided evenly every Ukrainian would be rich.

Zelensky and Biden's son.. in war room

Still a rookie just not funny anymore x

He's clearly something far away a stateman. As a comic and politician (not much difference really) this guy have been the worst president Ukraine have had ever! Under his watch Minsk agreements were ripped, A war with Russia brokered by NATO happens and finally lost lands (40%)

Regardless, I don't think he's a hero. I'm sure he had some helplessness, but I do think he was taken advantage of

Per le carogne vostre padrone sicuramente. Amici di striscia. Osso assicurato. Fottetevi. Bestie.

He remains an actor. The rest is propaganda.

More of a clown than hero. A terrible leader. The Economist has gone downhill!

Hero 🦸‍♂️ Jokes can be reality

Please stop this gd charade.

World Statesman Lmao. This dude is a joke

Zelensky from zero to hero. Everyone agreed.

Unfollowed for the propaganda. ✌️

Слава Україні. Ми переможемо клятих окупантів.

Zelensky is a clown, who had challenged a Superpower and now begs for help in order to stay alive as a President. He is not a hero, but he is a clown. The Economist tries to manipulate minds about a ridiculous clown who licks everyone around the Planet.

Hero ? You mean war criminal and traitor

Hope it’s over soon…

olliecarroll He is a homophobe not a hero. Very true,

olliecarroll He is like all the Ukrainians on the frontline trenches! All heroes!

olliecarroll Beautiful Propaganda.

olliecarroll Simply put.Zelensky is a dead man walking. If he didn't do what his Master(USA) said, he would be replaced/dead.that's what happened when one sold the soul and turned its back to own people. The same go to the elites (naive & supposed intelligent) following the Devil Biden's

olliecarroll He is a vampire.

olliecarroll

olliecarroll you are a hero

olliecarroll In early 2022, many thought Zelensky and Biden weak, that Putin was strong. Now only fools think this, as I note here, as Biden leads the effort supporting Zelensky as he embarrasses Putin's military

olliecarroll He is a puppet, Pinocchio

zannymb ArkadyOstrovsky Your doing a excellent job with what you are doing for everyone for people in Ukrainian and for the bravery to overcome this evil humanity to protect right fully yours and the children and family s and the bravery of those Soldiers. That with stand with you every day I pray

zannymb ArkadyOstrovsky Watch this interview on YouTube. It’s so important.

zannymb ArkadyOstrovsky Great way to start your commentary on war,smelly people that didnt wash.

zannymb ArkadyOstrovsky I’m sure the Russians will be interested in the details too

zannymb ArkadyOstrovsky Did she take him some goodies?

zannymb ArkadyOstrovsky More has to be done to protect Ukraine.

zannymb ArkadyOstrovsky Here is the same video taken from a different angle.. How many Police Personals can you see in this video while the Mahant is giving Rape threats to Muslim Women? ArrestBajrangMuni

zannymb ArkadyOstrovsky Get the latest news and analysis on Israel and the Middle East

He sounds like an American politician. He's so 'Americanized'...or it's just him playing his part...

Interesting…that he allowed his troops to kill people in east Ukraine before the crisis and the west said nothing about it.

Really? So why he is hidden while people are dying

Then you should've surrendered 3 weeks ago

Before the war, Ukraine is one of the poorest countries in Europe. After the war, it will only be poorer. So, no, there is no victory for Ukraine from the very beginning.

surrendering would have saved thousands of lives. Mr Zelensky needs to resign

This is exactly the opposite of what he is doing the whole time.

'Victory is being able to save as many lives as possible' - the best thing I've heard in a while. We all want peace & we all have a lot of work ahead of us (UKR will probably need one century to rebuild & heal itself, EU needs to get energy independence).

It looks like a fully trained military, paid for by the rest of the world, world class weapons, paid for by the rest of the world..... it looks like when they attack others later on down the road; it'll be one hell of a blame game!!

Tá aí o cara que substituio as notícias da covid , é toda hora até parece que o esconderijo dele é nesse jornal

Putin quiere anexar mas terreno de Ucrania y por eso es la Guerra. Lo de NATO es solo pretexto

Muchos ingenuos creen que Putin no abría ordenado la Invasión si Ucrania hubiera renunciado a la idea de pertenecer a la OTAN Puitin quiere Ucrania y ese es el punto

Surrender can save lives. Victory is a daymare.

This man, who dragged his country into war, displaced Ukrainian citizens from their homeland, doing whatever his masters said, is REALLY A COMEDY

This war could have been averted from day one, but you…🤬

Why are they committing war crimes then?

Saying the person who pushed his own people in the hole. Such a drama king he's !

He learned his lessons hard way. The price he paid innocent Ukrainians’ life. And multi billion $ destruction.

what he is doing which was not possible not day 1 of the war? this comedian could have agreed neutrality on day 1 of war and thousands life could have saved , millions hardships could have avoided. actual criminal is Mr Zelensky who brought war to ukraine with ambition of NATO

no victory. everyone is loseer in war.

Saving more lives while demanding more deadly weapons, mhh makes sense.

Then make peace, remain neutral from the obsolete NATO. The rest of the world should work to retire this beligernt institution whose sole objective is to subdue and bring down the world to feet of neocolonialsts and US imperialism

So why didn't you aim to save as many lives as possible from the beginning by not resisting the invader?

If that were so, it would have been easy enough to four weeks ago for NATO to stand down it’s overtures and Ukraine to enter legitimate negotiations. Putin’s invasion is wrong (though right by the pattern of Western routine invasions), but violence could have been prevented!

I was ashamed to be American... Now I'm embarrassed also.

liar, he could do that on day 1

I'm sharing this because this was exactly how i saw so many posts about GregoryLillian5 and how she was helping individuals with their trades and i decided to give it a try and luckly it went well, Contact her via his profile link below 👇👇 GregoryLillian5

Hollywood style

Good ice with the talks today, we have a good feeling they will go well.

NATO's poster boy

Он спокойный, потому что смертник. Кровавый клоун, в ожидании петли. Либо в России, либо на Западе. Но под ногами ему земли нет.

Hero! Zelensky a real superhero!

Kyiv isn't his fortress. It's all of Europe's fortress

What a fucking privilege.

It's in a 'Photoplay' moment: Yours, Myra Breckenridge

The real Z is for Zelensky 💪🏻🇺🇦

He deserves the name „Resilienskyj“

heroism

Zelenskyy is a true leader of this century.

You really have to pity him - an emperor without cloths. I suppose the real story will emerge after this tragedy ends.

“A decadent life of excessive involvement of America in Ukraine affairs, and no sense of loyalty to a very close neighbor who stood with you during the cold wars, has taken away the beauty of Ukraine”

İşi zor kim olsa belki şuan ondan beter olurdu

Be strong for your country Mr. President. 💪💪💪❤️❤️❤️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Yes, God bless and look after him ! The pressure on his shoulders must be stratospheric

God bless Ukraine

Western media just can’t wait to kiss Zelensky’s ass 😂

Respectfully, sir, you are the hero.

Why is that detailed description about his whereabouts?

Ukrainian please pronounce Aum aing hring kling chamunday vichche All the time,especially before sleeping. Remember your mother sister daughter wife fiancee any woman you like to and see her in dream. Pray her to kill putin. He will be wiped.

Instead Ukraine people are dying.

Send me money lemme end the war once I eat
