Zelensky Walked Into NATO A Hero. Trump Walked Out A Coward.
The world’s most powerful military alliance met this week in Turkey. Ukraine isn’t even a member—but its president, Volodymyr Zelensky, was the leader everyone watched. Five years into fighting off Vladimir Putin’s invasion, he didn’t come to beg—Zelensky walked in stronger than he’s ever been.
“There is no major Russian oil refinery left that has not been struck by Ukraine,” he told the room. And the battlefield backs him up.
A year ago, Russia seized more than 2,000 square kilometers in six months. This year: about 620. It loses 30,000 soldiers a month by Zelensky’s own count. And according to its military, Ukraine now knocks nine of every ten Russian drones out of the sky.
Trump spent months stiffing Ukraine on weapons. This week he folded—agreeing to let Ukraine build its own Patriot missiles and buy Ukrainian drones. Take it for what it’s worth; he was praising Putin the same week. What’s not in question is why he moved at all: Zelensky gave him no other option.

Once Putin is put in his place, it's almost a sure thing. Zelensky is a great leader in eastern Europe.
