You are right! Zelenskyy is an inspiration and admired across the world.

[@jacksonaguilar1998]

How? By appearing on TV everyday and beg to the world? He hasn't anything seriously. He hasn't picked up arms. He is romanticizing this war.

I'm here after a video from 1998 (he was very intelligent in his 20s), I'm here after more than 10 years of knowing this man, I'm so impressed how he won the Sympathy of the whole world, I can't wrap my head around.. 🌎❤️

[@vvey1438]

Zelensky is GREAT!! I think we all respect, admire and love him for being the TRUE Ukrainian spirit and for actually genuinely caring about his people and his country. The Ukrainian peoples can surely be PROUD of their Leader They truly do have the last great man on the world stage fighting for THEM!l Glory to Ukraine!!!

I hope this guy has a great supporting cast because no actor has ever proven to be a leader. I wish the Ukraine well and hope it works for them. PS: The WP has their own Putin trolls triggered on uploads. They are the crazy winos yelling profanity on the corner---- ignore them.

[@colombianchebur]

Зеленский в трудной ситуации. Экономика и армия в деградации; стратегически далее возможно отключение газовой трубы и банкрот. Давление России на Украину сродни акуле вцепившейся в ногу и медленно пожирающей жертву. Европа, как обычно, вышлет соболезнования. Несмотря на миролюбивые заявления Зеленского, ситуация остаётся на грани большой войны. Путин заигрался в игрушечные республики и теперь не может сделать шаг назад, раздаёт на Донбассе фальшивые российские паспорта. Ищется удобный момент для аннексии следующего куска Украины. Очень привлекательна для русских Одесса: отсечь Украину от моря. Привлекательна территория севернее Крыма: обеспечить Крым водой из Днепра. Тень большой войны повисла над Восточной Европой. Улыбки и поднятые вверх руки не помогут. Со слабыми не разговаривают.
