[영상] 300 days of war in Ukraine… Zelensky and Putin reversed

(Seoul = Yonhap News) With the Russian invasion of Ukraine on the 300th (last 20 days), compared to the beginning of the war, the situation of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky changed 180 degrees.

On February 24 this year, when Russian President Putin declared a “special military operation” against Ukraine, the entire world accepted Ukraine’s defeat as a fait accompli.

Some in the West have also blamed Ukraine’s pro-Western government for inciting Russia’s “wrong factor” with its irrational efforts to promote North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) membership.

As news spread that politicians and wealthy Ukrainians had fled en masse and the West, fearing all-out war with Russia, refused to support “weapons beyond personal firearms,” ​​President Zelensky seemed to be placed in a benevolent situation.

However, as the actual war unfolded, the situation changed dramatically.

President Putin, who daily threatened the West with a nuclear threat card, lost face when the insolvent bare face of the Russian military was revealed. On the other hand, President Zelensky, who was a son of depravity, emerged as a world hero who saved his country.

In particular, as it was revealed that Russia tortured, raped and killed hundreds of civilians in Bucha, a town near Kiiu, many countries that had been waiting and watching have turned their backs on Russia.

Unlike President Putin, who did not appear on the front lines, President Zelensky, who led the resistance against the wind, personally visited the battlefield several times where the shells came and went, cheering the soldiers on and sharing joys and pains.

The Ukrainian army, which overcame its initial inferiority, defeated the Russian army with the help of Western weapons support, recently recaptured Kherson, which was temporarily annexed to Russia, and is also attempting to recapture the peninsula of Crimea, which was lost to Russia in 2014.
