Ukraine has found its own Eisenhower? A legend of Mariupol is to head the army.

Drapatyi is the guy who broke through barricades set up by protesters in Mariupol to protest usurpation of government in the Maidan.

Ukraine sent the military to deal with largely unarmed protesters in Mariupol. And this is why Drapatyi is being held as a hero. This is absolutely revolting.

But what I wanted to note is the use of names of the WWII heroes of the Western front. Zelensky is Churchill and Putin is Hitler. Ukraine is viewed as a poor Czechoslovakia or Poland that were carved up by Nazi Germany. But at the same time, Ukraine is a country where Nazi collaborators are celebrated and in Russia Neonazism is persecuted and Russia celebrates victory over Naziism. Ridiculous World we live in.
