I'm in awe how on point Ukraine's public messaging has been throughout this war. They've been perfectly measured and poignant about everything they've said.

Zelenskiy in particular has acted and spoken without a single misstep through all the challenges thrown his way. It's impressive...

    His internal politics is another matter, but he's the best leader Ukraine could've had when it comes to international perception. The fact that he still manages to placate Trump without losing it is worthy of the highest praise.

    I remember, when the full scale invasion started, I basically thought "fuuuuck, and they're stuck with an actor for a president...."

    And then he said "I need ammo, not a ride", which, at least to me, was probably the most powerful "table flip" moment in history.
