From the perspective of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Zelensky is indeed an international figure with a high "attention" this year. On the one hand, he bet on Ukraine and became a "war agent" for the United States to start a war against Russia, which also led to the 7 million Ukrainian people becoming refugees, and the country became a ruin, almost a "crime"; on the other hand, he shouted that the war on Ukraine is to defend Europe, defend the values of the Western world, and package himself as "high-end".
However, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has not ended yet, so it is probably too early to evaluate Zelensky, but The American Time magazine couldn't wait and rated Zelensky as the 2022 Person of the Year.
"Time" rated Zelensky as Person of the Year
According to reports from Global Times , the US "Time" magazine recently announced that it would rated Ukrainian President Zelensky as "People of the Year 2022" to commend Ukraine's spirit in the face of Russian "invasion". The editor-in-chief of Time magazine also specifically stated that after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Zelensky did not escape, but chose to stay in , Kiev, , which was a "decisive move." In this regard, Russian State Duma MP Morozov believes that such actions as Time magazine is a political farce.
In a sense, "Time" rated Zelensky as "People of the Year", which can be regarded as a "reward" and an encouragement act from the Western world. However, judging from some of Zelensky's performance in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the operation of "Time" is indeed debatable.
First of all, Zelensky knew that NATO La Ukraine "joined" to establish bases against Russia and deploy related weapons in his territory, and pushed the defense line to front of Russia's gate. It had affected Russia's national security, but he still expressed his support without hesitation and took action. In the end, more than 7 million Ukraine's people became refugees. Not only did he become a "chess piece" in the West, but the entire country also became a "chess board" and was beaten into ruins. Such decisions as
are probably not what the Ukrainian people want, but they only meet the needs of NATO and the needs of the United States.
Secondly, ten months after the conflict began, not only the entire international community called for "peace talks", but even Russia and the United States also made the same calls. However, Zelensky was unmoved and proposed some "conditions" that Russia could not accept, such as "restore Ukrainian territory, compensate for war losses, and punish war criminals", which led to the ultimate miscarriage of the "peace talks".
Because everyone knows that the reason why the conflict broke out was not that Russia insisted on fighting this war, but that it was imposed on itself by the West. It is unfair to simply target Russia.
Ukrainian President Zelensky
In this context, why did Zelensky refuse to reach a ceasefire through diplomatic means? Could it be that if the war continues, it will really benefit Ukraine?
3. On November 15 this year, after two missiles exploded in the territory of NATO country Poland , Zelensky insisted that "it was impossible for Russia to do" by the parties involved, and insisted that "this is Russia's attack on NATO" and attempted to drag NATO into the conflict. What is the consequence of doing so? He cannot not know - it may lead to nuclear war or even world war . After
, after NATO investigation, it was confirmed that it was a "Ukrainian missile attack". After the Ukrainian Air Defense Force also admitted it, Zelensky changed his words, saying that he was not sure about the specific situation. Such an attempt to expand the war is probably not worthy of "reward".
Putin warned: Some Ukraine's actions increased the risk of nuclear war
Finally, the Kiev regime represented by Zelensky, not only asked the US for missiles with a range of 800 kilometers, but even "the Russian local military base was attacked". After the Russian investigation pointed out that "it was done by Ukraine", Kiev did not refute and directly made accusation. Doing so is it hoped that the war will continue? Although Ukraine has its own requirements for the outcome of the war, since all parties want to negotiate, why can't it be achieved through the negotiation table and must be implemented with bloodshed and life?
So, overall, "Time", a world-renowned magazine that once named the US President, the Queen of Britain and the German Chancellor, Merkel as "People of the Year", insisted on pushing Zelensky to the front stage this year. As the Russian MP said, it is indeed a political farce.
