Then he added: “People are very moved by that, people are moved by leaders. Playing the victim, being a leader. I think he is alluding to that image of a leader. He feels that he is the leader who leads the people at the cost of his own life. “It is very strong and works very well.”
Karanauskas also took advantage of the conversation with this media outlet to point out that, looking at all of the president’s speeches, one can see that he changes his mood a lot, since his emotions are very volatile.
“I have the following reading, and it is that Petro is very changeable with his emotional states. There are days when he is extremely strong and there are others when he is elevated, his mood is very fluctuating. Many of his speeches depend on his mood, on how he feels that day.” he sentenced.
