From usatodayopinion: 'Not all Ukrainians support President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, not even now. But he's endeared himself to many who were less than thrilled about having an actor with no experience in politics as a president.'

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Saturday that the country's army was successfully fighting back against Russian soldiers.The president's social media posts of himself, and with his advisers, have caught the world's attention. No longer dressed in the blue and gray suits of bureaucrats, Zelenskyy now makes his appearances in green fatigues. The message is clear: He is battle-ready.

, a 38-year-old yoga teacher told me in a private online chat."What is most important is that he speaks directly and openly, not like a politician. He says it like it is. He says no one will protect us. The whole world only sympathizes and worries, like Poland in 1939." Not all Ukrainians support Zelenskyy, not even now. But it would seem that he has endeared himself to many who were less than thrilled about having an actor with no experience in politics as a president.

"He definitely grew in my eyes," said Rita Zenchuk, a civil servant in her mid-30s who lives in Western Ukraine."I wasn't his fan before the war started. But I praise him and his teamwork. The way they have handled this crisis situation. ... Plus, in general, there is a sense of unity in the country on the one hand. We're inspired by the efforts of our army."

Zelenskyy is an establishment outsider, a man who played a president on television who cleaned up corruption in a political satire called"Servant of the People". The series aired from 2015 to 2019, when Zelenskyy ran, and then beat, the pro-Western candidate and technocrat Petro Poroshenko, in the country's presidential elections.

Ukraine showdown: Volodymyr Zelenskyy challenges Vladimir PutinUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's supporters have painted him as a hero just three days into Russia's invasion of Ukraine after he vowed to stay in Kyiv and defend his country. Just think if he had that aid back in 2019. Also would have helped if Israel didn't say no to that Iron Dome they wanted. They wouldn't be arming citizens. Are we being told the whole story? His likeness will be a global brand. He’s a tough dude, simply because he is staring at death in the face and hasn’t flinched. I’m rooting for his success and I hope he survives.
