Their skiff'd have ever received has to be a bike when I was younger, a pedal bike.

It was a sort of slick little road bike and I remember it was all like, it was so, it was all wrapped up,

it was so obvious what it was obviously because nothing shaped like a bike and I had a little ribbon on it and I was so

a guess. For that was a life changer and I'm still sort of big on cycling around my area now so, for that one change really low.

Enjoy in every sip with red cups now back at Starbucks.

The president of Ukraine, the Lodomir Zelensky, has been such a powerful communicator during the most recent invasion of his country

that it can be hard to pick just one appearance, one video clip that demonstrates his skill. But I asked the Atlantic's Franklin for to try.

I mean, I think that the, I'm going to go for the cliche, which is the one in the streets with his crew where they defy Russian propaganda and say, we're here.

We're still here.

This clip was released just a couple of days into the war. Russia was pushing a rumor that Zelensky had fled.

The selfie style video shot on a dark Ukrainian street with the president and green t-shirt and stubble was Zelensky's answer to the rumors.

There was a repetitiveness to it. A poetry. Yeah.

It was both rousing and strangely calming to have that effect of reassurance and also to have this underlying we're still here, which is kind of in a way a rousing battle cry.

I think it's very sophisticated.

You know the video that stood out to me was from last week when Zelensky was addressing European Parliament.

We're fighting just for our land and for our freedom.

And it wasn't so much what Zelensky was saying. It was the fact that the translator choked up. Yes.

Nobody is going to break us. We're strong. Where are Ukrainians?

Look, Zelensky is an entertainer. He was one of the most sophisticated media moguls in his country and his region of the world.

Yet there's something about what he's pulling off that I think that it feels authentic in the moment. But there's something so direct about the way in which Zelensky is communicating with his people with the world.

I do wonder a little bit if Zelensky's background is an actor. If it takes away anything for you from this political performance he's doing.

Because it is a performance even if it is authentic.
