  1. Every leader has their nemesis, and Zelenski is Putin’s – Zelenski is everything that Putin would like to be but could never be 💙💛

  2. Zelinsky is the Man of the Decade. His comment, “I don’t need a ride, I need ammo,” is my favorite war cry ever! It was in response to Biden and Macron offering he and his family safe passage out of Ukraine at the beginning of the war. If I was into tattoos that would be it. Slava Ukraine! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

    1. I agree. I lived in Odessa and met him. He shook my hand and laughed and asked me where I got my jacket. He then asked his advisor to get him one and walked off laughing waving to the crowd, shaking hands, and hugging people. He is funny and very strong heart

    2. oh yes, he could give American leaders lessons. Zelensky was practically born for this, to lead his people in the worst crisis any nation can face, an unprovoked war! He ought to get a Nobel peace prize because this is how you really get peace, sometimes you have to fight tooth and nail for it.

    3. Yeah but also my favorite part is president zelenskky s lecture on us all Americans about freedom, liberty and independence.. he rung our true song

  3. Due to the economic crisis and the unemployment rate, now is the best time to invest and earn money

    1. I appreciate your generosity in sharing your knowledge!! YOU make it easier for me to understand the subject, now I’m more optimistic than ever about stock trading. thanks a lot!!!

    2. But Mr Tim C is 4 times cheaper and its backed with all the legal documents needed to avoid fraud and scams so in the unlikely case of that happening your 100 percent safe and could sue for millions if it ever did happen but it wouldn’t because Mr Tim C is the best .

    3. Access to a good information is what the investors need to progress financially and in life. Here is a good one and I’m greatful

    1. Big brother USA makes little Ukraine think they are 10 feet tall…this is your classic big brother rescuing little brother when the school bully attacks. But the school bully is gonna go get his nukes. Then what?

  4. Well, I suppose here in Bizarro Clown World some people would call LOSING 15% of their own country a win.

    1. Last time I checked we are at 11% and shrinking .17% a day. I guess if they retake Crimea then we can add another 16%.

    2. @Brian Matthews – Would you also say that in 1943 Hitler was winning because of all the territory of France, Belgium, Norway, Poland, Russia, Yugoslavia, etc. that he still held? By October of 1943 it was already becoming obvious that the Allies were going to defeat the Axis nations. Italy had already been knocked out of the war, and the Allies were pushing German forces back in the USSR and Italy. In war, what matters is the direction that things are going. Once Hitler started retreating after his early advances, he never stopped retreating, except for a few futile counterattacks that failed to change the overall direction of the war. At this point in its illegal invasion of Ukraine, Russia seems to have run out of steam. The momentum is all with Ukraine now. All Russia can do is try to mobilize its middle aged men, buy weapons from Iran and North Korea, attempt nuclear blackmail, and watch its forces in Ukraine getting steadily routed.

  5. I am concerned that the Russians are running away fast to stay clear of a nuke, and that these poor souls are then meant to fill the void as “occupants”.

    1. The Russian military is not running away. They are being out classed on the battlefield. There is one piece of equipment that is helping the Ukrainian soldiers. “Night vision goggles” the Ukrainian scouts are able to maneuver and plot attacking points during the night. Russian military mostly attack during the day time.

  6. I love this guy. BUT- he should compromise and allow Putin to keep Crimea. Otherwise this war could last 10 years…and/or escalate to NATO vs Russia and go nuclear. Is Crimea worth a World War 3 Zelensky? Is it THAT important that you bathe in the Yalta spas? Putin will not give up Russia’s only ( year-round) warm water port. He absolutely will not. And no amount of American weapons will change his mind. So can you, for the sake of humanity, humble yourself and give up Crimea?
