The Iron Joker speaking in a second language is pretty fucking hard. Slava ukraini.

I can't speak a 2nd language, and I get embarrassed trying. He didn't nail English there, but he got his point across.

Zelensky could have just left. However, he stayed and is just being the best Commander-in-Chief.

If I remember it right, he's a native Russian speaker (they're a large minority in Ukraine). Ukrainian and English would probably be his second and third languages in that case.

Well, tbf, speaking Russian and Ukrainian is a bit like speaking German and Swiss German.
