The message from the free world to Russian President Putin has always been clear: Leave Ukraine alone... get out! What Russia thought would be a three-day hit-and-run mission to oust the Ukraine government of Volodymyr Zelensky was an abject failure. The Russians even took with them their dress uniforms ready for a victory parade in Kyiv and booked ahead for restaurants for their celebrations.
But Russia hadn't reckoned on the Zelensky factor in Ukraine. Approaching the third year of conflict, President Putin is still struggling to overrun his determined neighbour. The cost of the conflict, both in human and material terms, has been staggering. In this gripping new update of the bestseller, Zelensky: Frontline President, Andrew L. Urban and Chris McLeod examines what went wrong for Putin, how Zelensky convinced the free world to back him and how a "special military operation" is actually an all-out war with an unpredictable outcome.
