Voting is not an approval rating. In a democracy, leaders don’t just validate their decisions with “ratings,” they actually derive their mandate from the voting results. Zelensky was voted into power with overwhelming public support on a platform of NATO alignment. There were several Russian-aligned candidates who also had a fair shot at earning a mandate from the public. They failed. Zelensky won (and not by a little bit).
There’s not even a little bit of surprise in this state of the world, either. Russia is ruled by thugs and has been for a long time. It’s not surprising at all that when a country goes democratic, they tend to align with NATO.
