I wonder if Zelensky is going to leave. I have gotten a strong sense that he is loathe to go and leave behind his people. Extraordinary act of courage and if he is captured while fighting shoulder to shoulder with his people he would become a symbol that Putin could never overcome.

I admire his courage, but if it goes really bad, his people need him alive, kind of like De Gaulle did for the French.

I agree wholeheartedly. I just wonder if he's going to take the martyrs route. Also, I am working with a friend who works at one of the major networks to try and surface the question in my original post with the Biden admin. Longshot, but worth the effort.

One major problem with martyrs - too few want to emulate them. I'm sure there were a lot of martyrs during WW2, some of them were even canonized by the Church. But it was a De Gaulle that actually helped unite the French, not the far too many who died.
