I don't think Zelensky is the hero everyone is making him out to be. He's a regular guy in an unenviable position. He's not doing a spectacular job one way or the other.

I feel like most of the reverence surrounding him is just fluff and propaganda.

An unenviable position sounds like Ukraine is not getting ad-free streaming and he needs to negotiate. He's a regular guy who for years has been successfully defending his country from a world superpower invading, and now another superpower jumping in to help their invaders. Literally the fact that Ukraine still exists means he's doing a spectacular job.

I think you have, in fact, fallen for the widespread propaganda...or are trying to spread it.
