Don't Blame Zelensky
Briefly

The article critiques a recent New York Times analysis that suggests Ukrainian President Zelensky's confrontational approach toward American President Trump might be counterproductive. Despite acknowledging Zelensky's effective leadership during a brutal war against Russia, the analysis implies that he has generated hostility from Trump, complicating diplomatic relations. The piece highlights a misunderstanding of Zelensky's demands for recognition as a valid nation amidst a fight for survival and his necessity to maintain a strong stance.
Zelensky's dramatic personal style could be seen as hampering relations with Trump, yet he has successfully navigated a brutal war for three years.
The analysis suggests that while Zelensky's strong leadership is necessary, it may also be viewed negatively by those who misunderstand his methods.
