Throughout the war in Ukraine thus far, we’ve seen plenty of scenes of horror, destruction, and violence. But we’ve also seen something else. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been delivering nightly addresses to his nation, broadcast across the internet on various social media platforms. In addition to those broadcasts, he makes almost daily addresses in the same fashion to world leaders, the United Nations, and the American Congress. That’s not unusual for a politician, of course, but there’s simply something different about Zelensky. His video productions are always slick. One he prepared for Congress last month had skillfully blended images and a haunting musical score. When he speaks directly to the camera, he’s always right on cue, with almost flawless timing and impactful phrases. When he finishes speaking, he frequently receives standing ovations from his audience no matter how far away they are.
