On February 24, under the order of Russian President Putin, the Russian army, navy and air force burst into Ukraine with lightning speed.
In the face of the powerful offensive of the Russian army, the Ukrainian navy and air force were destroyed in less than 2 hours, and some important cities, villages and towns were lost.
So far, russian troops have advanced to Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, and fierce fighting has taken place in many neighborhoods, the city is in flames, the war has stained the sky red, the city has exploded continuously, and the subway is crowded with people who have taken refuge.
On February 25, Ukrainian President Zelenskiy announced that Russian task forces had penetrated deep into Kiev, targeting Zelenskiy himself and his family; he and the vast majority of the Ukrainian government's leaders were still in Kiev and would continue fighting.
He also called on all Ukrainians to take up arms against Russia's offensive, accused Western countries of standing by and causing Ukraine to fight alone, and expressed a willingness to engage in dialogue with Russia on the issue of neutrality.
His demands, however, were neither heeded by Western allies nor did they stop the advance of Russian forces. Even his intention to negotiate and dialogue with Putin needs to be conveyed by French President Emmanuel Macron.
The president of a country is incapable of defending the country and ensuring the safety of his countrymen, betrayed and abandoned by his allies, scorned by his opponents, and only left suffering in Ukraine!
What is even more ironic is that the allies who previously instigated the toughness against Russia are not only running far away at this moment, but also sneering, saying that Ukraine's poor handling has angered Russia and harmed European stability.
According to the US Vox News Network, an American bricklayer said that Ukraine's pursuit of NATO is a real mistake and the source of the problem, which has aroused Russian resentment and tension. Ukraine could be devastated, and the rest of Europe could be incalculably affected.
Giving others cannon fodder without the slightest mercy, being beaten to the point of blue nose and swollen face and dying, Western politicians are still diverting contradictions and extracting Ukraine's "surplus value", which is the sadness of Ukraine and the personal tragedy of Zelenskiy as president!
And such a tragedy began from the moment he was "accidentally" pushed to be president. Behind the myth that the presidency fell from heaven is that since the moment Ukraine broke away from the former Soviet Union, the country has been highly privatized, oligarchy is rampant, political turmoil is incessant, economic development is regressive, the Ukrainian people have lost interest in voting for a new oligarch, and there is an urgent need for a civilian president to lead Ukraine out of the quagmire of political turmoil and let the country go to the light.
Zelenskiy, a comedian, also at this time, was favored by Ihor Kolomoisky, an investment tycoon who owned 70% of the 1+1 media group, for starring in the political comedy "Servant of the People", and because of his excellent performance in this TV series that alludes to the current political situation in Ukraine and has a happy ending, he has pinned the dreams and hopes of the Ukrainian people and won countless public support.
In the play, Zelenskiy plays the middle school history teacher Goloborodko, during the class, the school asked the students in his class to arrange the presidential election polling station, an angry Goloborodko began to sarcastically and blame the ukrainian presidents, this clip was accidentally filmed by students and uploaded to the video website, which was warmly welcomed by netizens. Later, Goloborodko participated in the presidential election and mistakenly hit the president-elected.
After Globorodko became president, he vigorously punished corruption, which ushered in a breeze in Ukrainian politics and a positive transformation of the entire country. After the first season of "Servant of the People" aired in Ukraine, the average domestic rating was 10.4%, and the rating for 18- to 54-year-olds was 26%. Some commentators consider the drama to be the most critically acclaimed drama in Ukraine in recent years.
Outside the play, Zelenskiy, with the support of oligarchs, was promoted to participate in the presidential election as the chairman of the People's Servant Party party and a presidential candidate, and won the Ukrainian presidential election in 2019 with a super high vote of 73.22%.
When it comes to why he voted for Zelenskiy, the words of a Ukrainian student named "Su Xuejia" are quite representative.
She said: After the collapse of the Soviet Union, a large number of private pockets have made the Ukrainian people quite disappointed in the government, and Zelenskiy, as a comedian, his masterpiece is satire, ridicule, and connotation of the government, so everyone likes him. At the same time, he is also an ordinary person, and it was not easy for him to become a famous actor. And most importantly, his works can represent the views of ordinary people. There was also a debate about how good he would be if he could become president.
As a result, when it came to the election, many people encouraged him to give it a try, and then he began the road to politics. Although many people think that he has no political experience, no background resources, and is not suitable for being president, in the eyes of Ukrainians, his charm lies in this.
In addition, his two rivals, former Ukrainian President Poroshenko, known as the Chocolate King, was one of the richest people in all of Ukraine, but during his tenure Crimea was occupied, two cities in eastern Ukraine were destroyed, and the economy was falling behind day by day; the other was Tymoshenko, a gas tycoon, who in the eyes of Ukrainians was an out-and-out thief who had previously stolen a lot of natural resources such as natural gas from Ukrainians. "So compared to the Chocolate King and the Gas Princess, Zelenskiy was not corrupted by a corrupt government, he was just like us, and he knew ukraine's grievances." So we voted for Zelenskiy."
"All Ukrainians are tired and want to change the rotten government. Zelenskiy actually represents a dream of Ukrainians, a dream of changing the status quo in Ukraine and taking the first step towards revival. Although his performance was worse afterwards, we did not regret it, because at the time of the election, we only had two choices, bad and worse, on the one hand was a thief and on the other side was a clown "...
A second-largest country in Europe after Russia, but due to the toss of oligarchs, the incompetence and corruption of successive national leaders, the country can not choose a strong president, only to let the comedian Zelenskiy come to power. The tragedy of Ukraine has since been laid for.
In 2019, when zelenskiy first came to power, he was ready to turn the fame he earned on television into a brilliant political career. But the situation he faces is not easy: Crimea is running away from home, the Wudong region is under fire, his predecessor has been "treason" and fled to Poland, and the country's long-term oscillation between pro-American and pro-Russian countries has torn people's hearts and minds apart. His opponents said he was too inexperienced and doomed to be a disaster. His supporters believe he will break the old ways and end corruption. There are also criticisms that he will definitely betray the country to Russia, while others say that he is a puppet of oligarchy...
In this way, he took office in the midst of a chorus of doubts, began to open farmland markets, expanded digital services across the country, and implemented a huge road construction plan, declaring that the future construction would be a great achievement, and every Ukrainian who saw such a good road would always remember him!
He also launched a campaign of "de-oligarchy" throughout the country, but eventually encountered difficulties under the obstruction and destruction of domestic and foreign forces, and eventually became an unattainable commitment to governance. During his tenure, Ukraine has made no progress in fighting corruption, and Ukraine remains the third most corrupt country in Europe.
Finally, the Ukrainian people gradually lost trust in this outstanding actor on the stage. According to a poll, 62 percent of Ukrainians don't want him to run for re-election. The main reason for the lack of support is his tolerance for scandal and corruption.
Even more deadly, as a national leader, he has always lacked a reliable, loyal and capable team. His hastily assembled governance team quickly fell apart, and yesterday's allies became his toughest critics. His government was often subject to personnel adjustments, and his governance plans were changed day and night.
Later, Zelenskiy began to rely on loyal people rather than qualified people: an old friend of Zelenskiy's showbiz was appointed chief of staff, the security service was run by a partner who had been a corporate lawyer, and the president's party in parliament was run by a loyal former information technology businessman. "He is surrounded by a group of people who are flattering and flattering him, who lack the ability to govern and crisis management."
Lack of governing ability, lack of high-level team support, and the hard wounds of establishing Zelenskiy eventually caused the final outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis. He was panicked in the face of western warnings that Russia would go to war on Ukraine, and then believed that Western allies had exaggerated the possibility of an imminent attack.
This tension, embarrassment and indecency, as well as almost contradictory statements, made his mediocrity in governing the country unmistakable. According to a poll, 53 percent of Ukrainians believe that Zelenskiy will not be able to defend the country if there is an invasion.
Chairman Mao once said: The eyes of the masses are shining brightly. Today's Ukraine, in the face of Russia's powerful military strength and western allies watching the fire from the other side, is destined to be forced to accept the alliance under the city, and Zelenskiy is destined to become the saddest president and historical sinner in Ukrainian history.
Think of this comedian-turned-president, from the past full of ambition to join NATO as a thug, to now facing the doom of annihilation of the country NATO but watching from the sidelines, from the past all kinds of armed training to receive foreign aid to restore the country, to now encounter the Russian army to face a large area of land loss, from the past there are hundreds of thousands of national troops, to now beaten full of teeth to be militarized by Russia, reminiscent of the ancient Chinese sage Han Feizi's famous saying: the country is small and not humble, the strength is not afraid of the strong, rude and insulting the neighbor, greedy and clumsy, Can die also.
History and bloody reality are already telling the Ukrainian people that the president, who turned from comedian to comedian, has not been able to change the stage. And he treated everything as a comedic performance, and finally he, along with that country, became a tragedy that could never be recovered!
