This man doesn't just lead from the rear. Slava Ukraini!

This image captures Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visiting the northeastern town of Kupiansk on December 12, 2025.
The tweet from the official Ukraine account highlights a series of events leading up to the visit, contrasting Russian claims of control over Kupiansk with the reality of Ukrainian presence.
On November 20, a Russian general reportedly told Putin that Kupiansk was under control.
On December 2, Putin invited foreign media to the town, likely to showcase Russian occupation.
The image shows Zelenskyy in the town on December 12, indicating it is under Ukrainian control and reinforcing Ukraine's diplomatic position.

And maybe fourth time’s a charm: Europeans should by now have enough data on the Trump administration’s repeatedly failed efforts to end Russia’s war in Ukraine to give them the confidence that Trump will not be able to coerce Ukraine into just any kind of deal.
