  1. Heartbreaking what is happening in the World, now Russia and Ucrania. But let鈥檚 think down to Earth here. Who is to blame here? If we want this life we have to surrender to the greed and evil of the governments. They are the only responsables of what happens with humanity.
    Zelensky talking now, it鈥檚 to late. There are many lives gone.

  2. You say thank you to other countries but the world thanks you for your strength. Mr president we are friends. You are understandably scared but you are a true leader. On February 24 I was just in shock. When I saw you on the screen I cried because I guienly worried your dead. Mr. Putin will certainly be punished severely. You are a hero mr president. Thank you 1 million times 馃嚭馃嚘馃槩馃挄馃挭

    1. @Symantha
      Not for all of Ukraine, just a safe zone for aid.
      If we cannot do that, NATO is pretty useless.

  3. There must be some mansions and boats these rich Russians have hidden in Canada, and we need to find them and occupy.

    1. I wonder how much wealth prime minister Blackface Ethics Violations G7 Partier squirreled away . . .

  4. what must he think of all our stuffed suit politicians , paying lip service ,but not doing anything worhwhile, The world needs to act to end this

  5. Stop war and set down to have negotiations. Both of your countries need to be compromise each other, then everybody in your country can survived and alive. You playing a hero role in the drama, and background is your innocent citizens wounded and dead, and be refuges. That is a enormous disaster.

  8. Hard to think this guy was on Dancing with the Stars and doing TV shows only a few years ago. Must be hard to go from that to this.

  10. Lament in G minor , conducting Vlodymyr Zlesnsky.. Dear Justin what are you going to do . I could have stopped this nonsense dearJustin just by sitting down, talking and agree to some compromise dear Justin but I did not dear Justin. Our friendship is eternal and everlasting dear Justin In fact in Canada I am your only friend dear Justin . . Close the skies and start a third world war dear Justin. IN my speech I mentioned Vancouver , Montreal but I forgot St-Hyacinthe and St-Bruno and St-Romuald. Thank you .

  11. Bravo 馃憦 The acting from Trudeau and Zelenskyy is outstanding 馃憣 they both have a special place in the new world order. How many social credit points have I lost for not changing my profile picture to the Ukraine flag..

  12. Very nice speech but I got the impression that when he talks of Ukraine he does not include the Russian speaking part of the country. There has been fighting between Donbas, Luhansk, and the rest of Ukraine for 8 years so I’m not sure how that qualifies as a peaceful country. .

    1. They’re not Ukrainian to many, including themselves. He banned all books in Russian. He wanted to force them out before an independence movement took donbas or Crimea.

  13. I like how President Zelensky donned his dress “sweats” for this address. Does this guy own a suit…at all?

  14. He is asking Canadians to invoke WW3, simply that is what it is. And Canadians are not willing to create a WW3.
