Zelensky and Putin, two radically different warlords

Volodymyr Zelensky on one side, Vladimir Putin on the other. Two warlords with different styles. From the start of the war, on the night of February 25, 2022, when the United States feared for the safety of the Ukrainian president, he went out into the streets of Kiev, filmed himself and posted the video on his Instagram account: “We will not lay down our arms”. In contrast to this image of a connected president, ready to mobilize his troops, Vladimir Putin. Sometimes frozen behind his desk to announce the start of an offensive or appearing in one of his countless videoconferences with members of his government.

Two visions of diplomacy

Two presidents, two visions of diplomacy. Since the beginning of the offensive, the Russian head of state has made only rare visits to countries of the former USSR. Zelensky, multiplies his interventions, by videoconference in particular, then during meetings: with Joe Biden at the White House, within the European Union, in Brussels, London or Paris. With a message: Ukraine will win. Zelensky the European in front of Putin who multiplies the attacks against the Western world.
