Speaking to reporters this week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the future he sees for his country in unusual terms: as “a big Israel.”

Gone, he said, are hopes for “an absolutely liberal” state—replaced by the likely reality of armed defense forces patrolling movie theaters and supermarkets. “I’m confident that our security will be the number-one issue over the next ten years,” Zelenskyy added.

Did you read the article? It explains what Zelenskyy meant with that statement. It's even written as a nifty bulleted list.

It's an article praising the Israel model being applied to Ukraine by a Zionist. I guess you enjoy drinking that hasbara koolaid.

No, that's not what the article says. It doesn't mention Zionism, not even by inference.

The article points out that when a nation is under attack ideologically, it needs to put security first in order to protect itself from bad actors.

Whether you are for or against Ukraine or Israel is unrelated; the point is that these countries are facing similar challenges—which is demonstrated in this very discussion.
