Zelinskiy might be a Jew, but he's the most heroic leader the world has ever seen since Leonidas.
Slava Ukraini Heroyam!
Whatever people think about Volodymyr Zelenskyy, it cannot be denied that he is fit and politically very active,
his advantage is that Ukraine is not so small (the second largest country in Europe after Russia) and has more than 35 million people, who are anything else but Russian-friendly and willing to fight it out.
Now for sure, everybody in Ukraine is deeply hating Russia...
Ukraine has some strong support from Poland, Slovakia and the Baltic States, those people feel the same and they do not want to be controlled by Russia, These countries are also good friends of UK and USA and willing to supply weapons to Ukraine over the border.
Many other countries are not willing to deliver weapons, but are supporting Ukraine otherwise with plenty of materials which are helpful like medical care, taking care of refugees, offering some machinery like generators, tools, blankets, clothes and so on...also willing to join sanctions, to confiscate real estate and banking accounts owned by Putin's friends etc.
Some Western countries feel threatened by Russia, especially Finland and Sweden, but also the Baltic States and Molvodia.

While Russia is a very large country, its territory is underpopulated and its people also widely dispersed, total Russian population is less than Italy+Poland+Ukraine together...unconquerable as too large, but its government is not invincible - its military power is not unlimited...economic output is rather small (less than Italy!)
NATO is in a good position - Ukraine is no NATO member, no obligations to help, but Ukraine is supported with all it needs, and so far not even one NATO soldier died, but Russian young men are sent home in body bags and a huge amount of their (often outdated) military equipment is destroyed.

About Zelenskyy and some other leading politicians with him, for sure they have an escape route ready if something is going really wrong, but so far Ukraine is holding its position since more than one year already.
Many Western leading politicians and even the US president Biden were visiting Zelenskyy in Kyiv despite the Russians try to invade Ukraine...
No doubt about that Zelenskyy is still in power...more than 80 percent of the Ukrainian territory is still not occupied by Russia.
