I really believe that Zelensky's grit, tenacity, and unwavering commitment to Ukraine's victory against Russia will end with freedom for his country. He is tireless in his approach to allies for help, and does not let a corrupt and ineffectual US President, get in the way of what he needs to do. I hope that Europe continues to support Ukraine and steps up their defense proposals to solidify the allied front against Russia. I also am relieved that Ukraine is no longer sharing information with the US, as we are now a completely unreliable source and will continue to be so until Trump is out of office. Glory to Ukraine.

Although Mr. O’Neill directs this piece at Trump (and rightly so), all of what he says should be directed at the entire Republican party. All of Trump's statements and actions are the responsibility of the Republican party. So-called moderates do nothing while America becomes an isolated fascist state. Cowards, traitors, all of them.

I absolutely loved, loved, loved this section: "One man operating from a war bunker. The other from a gold-plated cocoon. One dealing in sacrifice. The other in grievance. One who already knows what he’s willing to lose. The other who has never risked anything not insured by someone else’s money." Zelensky was a comedian who became a statesman. Trump was a businessman who became an awful joke.

Trump makes himself look small because he is small. Zelenskyy just shines a light on that smallness.

The orange felon continues to look smaller and smaller, while Zelensky is more and more looking like a giant, a moral giant.

Your title says it all. Beautiful article, by the way. I hope Zelenskyy knows and feels all the support he has — even without 47 and his miserable policies. Thanks for this, Dr O’Neill. You always hit the nail on the head!

A leader inspires his people to be the best they can be. Ukraine has a great leader. France, Canada, Germany, UK, Norway, Finland and others have leaders. The US has no leader - just a self centered criminal clown who should be in prison. They have abdicated their position in the world order and may never regain it.

Zelenskyy has made Trump look like a bigger fool! Especially since February 28th in the Oval Office.

One can not stop thinking about what it is. What is it that makes the TACO fellow so subservient to Putin? I do know the convicted felon has a crush on that small bare chested ex-KGB guy but there must be more to explain the bootlicking performed by the guy currently soiling the White House.

Slava Ukraini!! Heroiam Slava!!
