On the 26th, the "Deutsche Welle" Chinese network published a personal commentary on Ukrainian President Zelensky, titled "Zelenskiy: From Comedian to National Hero". There is no doubt that this wording has put Zelensky, who is in a great difficult situation, into a very high position.
However, a sentence in this article brings a very rich association to everyone: the Ukrainian president has also perfectly mastered the art of communication through Twitter.
In the first paragraph of the article, exaggerated adjectives such as "incredible" and "brilliant" are used continuously, exaggerating Zelensky to the heavens and saying that "his quotations will surely be recited by people and recorded in the annals of history."
Subsequently, the article also used the point of "also being an actor" to link Zelenskiy with former US president and hollywood actor Reagan, and even believed that Zelenskiy's performance in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, like Reagan's dialogue with the last leader of the Soviet Union, Gorbachev, would become a "saint" and "monument" in the eyes of the Western world and Ukrainians.
In the forwarded introduction, the "Deutsche Welle" Chinese network even said that "in communication, Putin has become a defeated general under Zelenskiy."
After such a preparation, the focus of the article came. The Western media outlet lashed out at Zelenskiy's practice of "tweeting for help," and the Ukrainian president's gesture of asking for help was greatly glorified and heroic, saying: "He is fearless and resolute" and "he has perfectly mastered the art of communication through Twitter." Every few hours, he would make brilliant statements to the world on Twitter."
If you want to use a word to describe the "Deutsche Welle" Chinese network of this article, then the first reaction that comes out of the author's mind is "embarrassment", if you want to add another word, then I think it is "killing".
Because no matter what position you take, it cannot be denied that Zelenskiy and the Ukrainian authorities are in a difficult situation of internal and external difficulties, and Reagan's "Cold War victory" posture to the Soviet and Eastern camps is completely two states. Moreover, although this article wants to compare Zelenskiy and Reagan, when they see "Twitter communication", the former president of the United States that most people think of is Trump, who also likes to post on social media.
Sure enough, many people in the comment area sneered that "it is Trump who really masters the art of perfect Twitter communication!" Some people also questioned: "Why is it that Trump is also scolded by these liberal Western media, but Zelenskiy is exaggerated by you?" ”
In addition to the "Deutsche Welle" Chinese network, just a few hours before we wrote this article, the British "Guardian" also published an article about Zelenskiy's "Twitter to save the country". Unlike their original crusade against Trump, this time they gave Zelenskiy a lot of praise and praise, and regarded the president's "no way to do anything" in the face of the current situation as his new perspective on Ukraine's cross-shore fire.
But no matter what these Western media say now, there are two facts that they have to face.
First of all, Zelenskiy's "tweet to win support for Ukraine" is actually not effective, for example, he has previously posted "thank Turkey for blocking the strait to prevent the Russian fleet from attacking Ukraine", but shortly after the post, the Turkish side said that the country "has not yet made a decision to close the strait to Russian warships."
In addition, the situation between Russia and Ukraine has been heating up in recent years and eventually a conflict has broken out, which is inseparable from the FACT that NATO and the Western camp led by the United States have repeatedly provoked Ukraine to stimulate Russia. However, after the "arch fire" made things bigger, these Western countries "retreated" one after another when Russia used force against Ukraine, turning the Russian-Ukrainian conflict into a good opportunity to gain profits for themselves, and even mocked them unabashedly. For example, not long ago, when Ukrainian diplomats asked Germany for help, German politicians directly said, "Ukraine has a few hours left anyway, what is the use of helping you?" ”
So rather than "the Ukrainian president perfectly mastered the art of Twitter communication," Western politicians and the media were better at "throwing the pot in any situation" and "seizing the moral high ground at any time."
