Ukraine’s ’servant of the people’ is a western fiction and propaganda
Ukraine’s ‘Servant of the People’ is a Western Fiction
There are far better ways to support the Ukrainian people than glorifying Volodymyr Zelensky
From the outset of Russia’s invasion in February of this year, Western elites have bestowed upon Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a level of adulation that few (if any) leaders have enjoyed.
Zelensky’s political rock star tour began with a speech to the European Parliament on March 1. He spoke with the United States Congress on March 16. By April 5, he had spoken to the parliaments of seventeen other nations—all of them closely allied with the United States.
Zelensky’s tour hit a snag on April 8. On that day, Zelensky caused an uproar among Greeks when he shared in Greece’s Parliament a video byte of a neo-Nazi soldier from the notorious Azov Battalion.
That little brouhaha was quickly swept under the Western rug.
Within the first six weeks of the war, Zelensky also addressed NATO, the G7, the European Council and the United Nations Security Council.
Western leaders and corporate media have incessantly described Zelensky as ‘Churchillian’—an epithet that was obviously intended as a compliment, despite Churchill’s well-documented racism.
George W. Bush, a war criminal who has never been held accountable for his crimes, described Zelensky as “the Winston Churchill of our times” after spending “a few minutes” chatting with the Ukrainian entertainer in a videoconference.
Australia’s former Prime Minister Scott Morrison hailed Zelensky as a “lion of democracy.”
French President Emmanuel Macron gushed that Zelensky was the “personification of honour, freedom and courage.”
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson lauded Zelensky for his “invincible heroism.”
Since ascending to Ukraine’s presidency, what has Volodymyr Zelensky done to merit such lofty praise from such eminent people?
