The extreme defense

The Result

Supporters might argue that President Zelensky's assertion about the Yandex attacks is a bold statement of defiance against Russian aggression. The defense submits that even if experts claim there is no evidence of Russian trolls being affected, the mere act of striking at the heart of Russian cyber operations is a victory in itself.

What Trump Did

The defense might suggest that Zelensky's actions are reminiscent of strong leadership, akin to what supporters of Trump often celebrate. The defense admits that while the immediate effects may be unclear, the psychological impact on both Ukrainians and Russians cannot be underestimated.
