Zelensky: The Frontline President

The message from the free world to Russian President Putin has always been clear: Leave Ukraine alone... get out! What Russia thought would be a three-day hit-and-run mission to oust the Ukraine government of Volodymyr Zelensky was an abject failure. The Russians even took with them their dress uniforms ready for a victory parade in Kyiv and booked ahead for restaurants for their celebrations. But Russia hadn't reckoned on the Zelensky factor in Ukraine. Approaching the third year of conflict, President Putin is still struggling to overrun his determined neighbour. The cost of the conflict, both in human and material terms, has been staggering. In this gripping new update of the bestseller, Zelensky: Frontline President, Andrew L. Urban and Chris McLeod examines what went wrong for Putin, how Zelensky convinced the free world to back him and how a "special military operation" is actually an all-out war with an unpredictable outcome. A chronicle of Zelensky’s glory and Putin’s dishonor as the conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine enters a third year. Following our 2022 book, Zelensky–The unlikely Ukrainian hero who defied Putin and united the World – we have monitored the progress of President Zelensky’s defense of Ukraine. In this book, we show his frequent presence on the front line with his troops, in contrast to Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, cocooned in the Kremlin, disconnected from his troops – and even his commanders. We also examine the wider international and geopolitical context, and speak to Ukraine’s Ambassador in Australia, Vasyl Myroshnychenko and Stefan Romaniw, Vice President of the Ukrainian World Congress and Chairman of the Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organizations. For intelligence analysis we turn to Rebekah Koffler, author of Putin’s Playbook, and we end the book with Zelensky’s own words as he looks to the future.
