But a thing i really think has gone under remarked upon about the video is that it is not framed in the way we'd think of it. He's delivering it like he's a newscaster,. basically, automatically, you are in place where it feels authoritative. This isn't just effective politics right now. I mean, people on the innernet are thirsting for president zalensky.
