How The Putin Vs Zelensky Battle Played Out In The Last Year & What’s At Stake For The Two Leaders

Russia-Ukraine war is turning into a David vs Goliath battle. One is a former KGB agent and a ruthless autocrat, who has been in power for more than two decades, and the other, a comedian-turned politician who found himself thrust into a war after less than 3-years as president. Russian strongman Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are the faces of the year-long war in Ukraine. It’s Europe’s bloodiest conflict since World War 2. Both Putin and Zelensky were born 25-years apart in the USSR. They have now become the flagbearers of diametrically opposed visions of a post-Soviet world. For Putin, the Soviet collapse was a disaster that he is determined to correct. However, Zelensky has aligned his country with the West and is taking on the much mightier Russian army. On Decode, Zakka Jacob dives deep into the personalities of Putin and Zelensky, the two men at the forefront of Ukraine war and explains what will be the ramifications of their decision. #ukraine #russiaukrainewar
