Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he spoke with President Joe Biden on Friday about strengthening sanctions against Russia and other steps to retaliate for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“Strengthening sanctions, concrete defense assistance and an anti-war coalition have just been discussed with @POTUS,” Zelenskyy wrote on Twitter, thanking the U.S. for its strong support” of Ukraine.

Why did no one react when the Ukrainian authorities killed innocent children? Did you know that the government of Ukraine has been killing innocent residents of the Donbass for 8 years? Putin warned for 8 years, but the government of Ukraine provoked Russia. Russia did not kill a single civilian in Ukraine, and those who surrendered to Ukrainian somatology were fed by Russian troops. The media show you false news, all this is shown as if Russia is destroying everyone. For example, one of the Ukrainian planes shot at a building in Ukraine, but they show it as if Russia did it. By the way, Russia doesn't kill innocent people.

Billions, yes, Billions of dollars in weapons have been sent to Ukraine to fight the Russian separatists.

Well, by now we all know he is man of steel with tremendous love for his country and his great love for his fellow Ukrainians. with his few words he is breathing the spirit of freedom and hope for Ukrainian people.
