Zelensky is not a white hat by any means. (1) He is committing a war crime by directing/allowing his armed forces to situate in civilian neighborhoods, artillery in people's yards, and fire control spotters on second floors of houses. This is using human shields which is prohibited under the Geneva accords. Russians are legally entitled to shoot back at them. Combatant forces are obliged to separate themselves from noncombatants. (2) He is cynically dooming babushkas, pensioners, mothers, and children to a withering death under Russian firepower by urging them to fight with rifles they were not trained to use. (3) According to the Panama Papers, he has moved all his personal wealth out of country. (4) He is good with the Azov Battalion.

He is a puppet of his Deep State / Globalist masters with the task of keeping their Ukrainian playground from discovery and disclosure. He comes from the entertainment business and is an expert at the construction of head fakes. He has turned Kyiv into a reverse Potemkin Village, all for show.
