Trying to own a lib in debate against my better judgment and can’t find it.

    I'm assuming you're talking about this one: https://tankies.la/videos/tv79dv.mp4

    Edit: Some people here are claiming this is from one of Zelenskyy's TV series from before he became President. This is untrue because it was filmed in October 2019, after his inauguration.

    This is a video showcasing his trip to Donbass and featuring the same clip from a different angle: https://youtu.be/d5RRDnF7lKM?t=1924

    Also, the guy Zelenskyy is talking to is Denis Yantar, a member of the National Corps, which is a far-right militia founded by veterans of the Azov Battalion.

          It's not. This was filmed in 2019 after he became President and went to Donbass to try and convince the nationalist militia there to cease hostilities.

          There are Ukrainian videos on Youtube showing the video I linked from another angle, for example: https://youtu.be/d5RRDnF7lKM?t=1924

          Idk sort of exposes that his authority only exists in negotiation with these groups (something we tend to already recognize here)

          looks like the exchange was also being filmed from other side (other clip linked) so they might not have had much choice in publishing

        I looked up videos of Prokopenko and it doesn't seem like the same guy. Even if he had plastic surgery, his voice is deeper than the Denis in my video.

        Edit: The guy's name is Denis Yantar, who is affiliated with the Azov Battalion.
