Exactly.

I'm not going to support some far-right leader Zelenskyy

And if I say "I support xyz" It's just empty words anyways unless I do actually act in some way.

Not here to defend a president, but Zelensky can hardly be called far-right compared to the rest of Europe/Russia. Check out the wikipedia page of the former president Poroshenko if you want a comparison (yes "military, faith, language"). If anything, Zelensky has been a thorn in the far-right because he's jewish and the ukrainian far-right is really antisemitic.

Personally, i wanted to make "fuck putin! fuck zelensky!" posters but some ukrainian anarchist comrades suggested it was utterly misplaced. So i'm going to defer to my comrades from there and suggest that not supporting him (but supporting the anarchist militias and relief efforts) is entirely ok but treating him as a far-right dictator plays into Russian imperialist propaganda.
