Which man is likelier to be leading his country in 2029, Donald Trump or Volodymyr Zelenskyy? The savvy bet would be Zelenskyy, even if Trump tries to defy term limits. No other world leader can claim to have survived and thrived on the enmity of both Trump and Vladimir Putin. The misfortunes befalling Russia’s “special military operation” mean he could also outlast Putin. But Zelenskyy’s tenacity goes further than the battlefield. He, more than any other western leader — barring Trump (and for different motives) — has the ability to catalyse change in Europe.
唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)和弗拉基米尔•泽连斯基(Volodymyr Zelenskyy)，哪一位更有可能在2029年领导其国家？即便特朗普试图打破任期限制，明智的押注对象也是泽连斯基。没有其他世界领导人能像他那样，在同时遭受特朗普和弗拉基米尔•普京(Vladimir Putin)敌视的情况下，不仅生存下来，还打开了局面。俄罗斯“特别军事行动”遭遇的挫折意味着，泽连斯基的政治生命可能比普京更长久。但泽连斯基不仅在战场展现出坚韧。他是最有能力在欧洲催生变革的西方领导人——出于不同动机的特朗普除外。
