Zelensky's presence in the line of fire at risk is no longer news. During the two years that the war lasted, he visited the soldiers on the front line countless times, awarded medals, and showed courage and inspiration.
On February 22, local time, Zelensky came to the front line again.
But this time it was different from any previous one - he was interviewed by reporters directly on the front line!
Accompanying him in risking his life was Fox TV reporter Brett Beyer and his reporting team.
The place of the interview was in the direction of Kupyansk, just 2 hours from the positions of the Russian army5 km. During the interview**, the "booming" cannon never stopped.
Together, they visited the wounded in the field hospital and took photos with them.
No matter how you look at this bloody war, and no matter how you evaluate Zelensky, people must admit that compared with his opponents, Zelensky is a real man and a real hero.
Why Fox TV?
My guess is that this interview was most likely initiated by Fox TV. Tucker Carlson, the far-right "Trump fan" who interviewed and hyped the Bunker heroes not long ago, was originally a popular host on the TV station, and he was only fired in April 2023.
While Carlson's interview with Bunker Hero did nothing more than give the latter a chance to change his cliché and make the world see more of his absurd logic and false narrative, Fox TV may still feel ashamed of Ukraine and offered this interview to "make amends".
Another reason is that as the most influential rightist in the United States**, Fox TV is quite popular with Republicans, and many Republicans like to watch its news programs.
Bayer's interview with Zelensky will be on Fox TV at 1 o'clock on the 23rd Kiev time (6 o'clock tonight Beijing time), and the vast majority of Republicans will see the interview.
It no longer matters what Zelensky says in the interview. It is important to let those Republicans see the courage of Zelensky, the courage of Ukraine.
Courage is the "secret" of Ukraine's guarantee of victory
All Republicans have to do is get Biden's aid package through as soon as possible.
When the war started in the early hours of February 24, 2022, the whole world did not expect it to be where it is today.
Everyone believes that after a maximum of three months, the state of Ukraine will cease to exist. The biggest support from Europe and the United States is to help Zelensky and his team escape to Poland and establish exile in Warsaw**.
Even a lot of people in Ukraine have fled abroad with their families.
But Zelensky refused to live, he insisted on living in the ** mansion with his wife and a pair of children, and said the words that are destined to go down in history:
What I need is ammo, not a ride! ”
A few days later, all the ** who fled returned to their posts, and there were many of them.
Looking back on this "history" after two years, I still feel a lot of emotion: is it the times that make heroes, or the heroes that make the times?
Prior to this, Afghanistan** faced the advance of the Taliban, and it was two weeks ahead of schedule with the gold competition.
The times can't create heroes, it just provides a stage for real heroes.
Before the outbreak of the war, Zelensky "changed careers" and took office for less than two years, and he was neither a mature politician or diplomat, nor a strategist or military strategist.
He's just an ordinary Ukrainian with a bit of fame, who, like other ordinary Ukrainians, wants his country to be better.
The current situation threw him on the cusp of creating history.
He can back down and save himself and his family. As the number one Ukrainian male star who has become famous since he was in college and is popular all over Eastern Europe (including Russia), he is not short of money. Even if you give up your job and leave, you can still live a good life.
But he didn't. He chose the most difficult path - courage against the Russian army, which claims to be the second strongest in the world.
Yes, all he has is courage.
There are not enough tanks, artillery, ** soldiers.
He spread his courage to his team, and then to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, to Ukraine as a whole.
Because of courage, Ukraine received assistance.
Please don't get the logic back-up
Ukraine was aided because of its heroic resistance, and not stubbornly because it was aided.
In the past two years, the slander against Zelensky has never stopped: escape, corruption, mansions, luxuries, refusals....
Those who follow the crowd never thought -
Why is there no criticism of the former Afghanistan** who fled with ** and dollars, but Zelensky, who led the Great Patriotic War at the risk of his life, is blamed?
Why is it that no one blames the politicians who have been hammered and corrupted in the world, but so many people are scolding Zelensky with information that has been falsified?
For nothing else, some people hate him for blocking their way, and want him to make the aid to Ukraine cut off aid.
The logic is not complicated.
As a modern war, the Russia-Ukraine war is a hybrid war. The two sides are not only fighting each other on the battlefield and on the international stage, but are also engaged in a huge information war.
Every day, we can see a wide variety of information. Whoever you support, you can always see the information that is beneficial to it; Whoever you oppose, you can always see a myriad of messages that are not good for it.
You can believe it or not; You can believe what you want to believe, or you can not believe what you don't want to believe.
None of that matters.
The important thing is that after two years of fierce fighting, Ukraine is still alive.
No one can change this fact.
When the initial hardships have passed, no matter how difficult the road ahead, Ukraine will always be resolute.
It will always be on earth.
