john heilemann, nbc news and msnbc national affairs analyst, the host and executive producer of showtime'sour interview with president zelenskyy. >> we saw him late at night in his compound. you get to it via dark corridors and soldiers with flashlights. but when he came and he didn't make us wait for a long time, he didn't make us sit at a long to table. there was no pomposity, no formality. he's somebody who really is an ordinary person and he wants to be seen that way, and that's one of the ways in which he builds sympathy and trust, which is also a way of kind of girding his nation both against the military war but also against the information war, so it makes people more resistant to propaganda and disinformation when they have, you know, trust in their leader. he had two real messages, important message, aside from other things we spoke about. one was that he does believe the war is not over. he believes that the russians are gathering in the east to make a new assault on the country and will perhaps try to take kyiv once again in a different way. also that he needs weapons very urge
