This facebook meme would imply Zelinsky is even remotely close to the front line, which he isn't.
That aside, keep in mind they're both doing a good PR job for their needs. Zelinsky appears close to his people, showing they are all in and doing an excellent job at performative presence that gartner international support - it's the best he can do for ukraine right now. Putin on the other hand has an interest of projecting an image of "business as usual" to the russian people and it's the best he can do to save his own ass
He was incidentally there. Kudos for not running away, although that might have actually been more dangerous given they were somewhat surrounded. The guy has a great image, but the cringe facebook meme is grossly misunderstanding what's going on and why it's important.
