Zelensky. At the beginning almost arrogant. Now? He appears to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

 

Zelensky speaks to the nation. The gravity of the situation looks to have really gotten to him.

I'm trying to think how "rulers" of nations respond when impending doom is upon them.

I'm not sure.  But Zelensky looks like the walking dead.  I wonder what its like to be led by someone that is convinced he's gonna lose before the battle begins (I believe he's right but damn it you have to at least fake it for your people!).

At the end of the day, leadership counts!  This dude is failing the test.
