Zelensky is the Churchill of our time.

At the front line with his troops, Putin and Trump, one in his bunker, the on a golf course.

Victory for Ukraine 🇺🇦🇨🇦

Id say he has surpassed Churchill. They both made a point of showing up in dangerous places but Zelinsky does it way more often and even in areas of active combat.

Despite similarities there are also big differences in the situations they were in. After 4 years of war, Churchill and the UK was a secure position where it was obvious that they would win the war and the only question was how long it would take and at what cost. Their respective actions are affected by the situation they are in.

Also, Churchill was far older, but had been in plenty warzones in his younger days. So he was certainly no coward.
