#3 The styles of Volodymyr and Putin are very different. One begs for everything using medias while Putin scores successes in actual economic growth and support around the world. Malaysia, Africa, India, Vietnam, Latin America and the Arab world. His successes in this effort have been dramatic. Our leadership has been pathetic.
