  1. This just makes me even more impressed by their President he litterally has the future of his country in his hands and he has no relief he has only war its heart breaking ๐Ÿ’”

    1. @David Gord just because you were born there doesn’t mean ethnic cleansing isn’t happening in Ukraine. In fact, it’s starting to happen in Lithuania and Estonia and latvia against Russian speakers and the Russian language. It’s like ww2 repeating itself over again with Hitler and everything.

  2. Thank you for insight into Ukraineโ€™s first family, and conversation about health & wellbeing during a dark time in Ukraineโ€™s history.

    1. At first, the ancestors of the Russians (Vikings) terrorized the Swedes and the Swedes drove them out of Scandinavia, then the ancestors of the Russians terrorized the Slavs in the 8th century and the Slavs also fought back – why are Russians not loved anywhere ??)๐ŸŽ‚๐ŸŽ‚๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฐ

    2. Obviously the Ukraine is doing just fine. I mean, Brandon sent $40 billion, plus is sending them $1.5 billion a month. He also sent billions of dollars of advanced weapons. He sent them tons of food including *baby* *formula* as mothers here in America suffered from a shortageโ€ฆ.
      Other countries have been sending billions as well and weapons. World leaders and celebrities constantly keep flying there, walking the streets casually as if itโ€™s the latest tourist attraction. U2 even performed a concert and then signed autographs in the streets were they claim itโ€™s a war zone.
      Apparently, despite it supposedly being a war zone and Russia constantly bombing and firing missiles at them. Shopping malls are open and packed full of people, because you knowโ€ฆ During a war where a city is constantly being attacked.. Itโ€™s normal to have malls open filled with citizens๐Ÿ™„
      The Azov military was posting on social media that they are using the money to purchase more Nazi memorabilia and better train their Nazi youth. They also bragged about skinning Jews and blacks alive and how great it is.
      But hey, go Ukraine. ๐Ÿ˜’

  3. her sincerity being humbled to a point most of us won’t ever experience is heartbreaking. Gorgeous woman

    1. 1 kaliber Oh Fuk what you saying it here ๐Ÿ˜  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zrfSK6pnpQ

      Felicidades, es un buen ejemplo. ๐Ÿ˜

      Saludos desde la Cd.. de world ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ’–
      los mortales abian apreciado tan hermosa mujer

    2. @Kiana Ingram I’m saying that she’s a woman any man or woman could call a rolemodel. Her genuine approach can’t be faked, she’s married to another person thats a living Bruce Willis in Armageddon.

      I have absolutely no idea why that video you sent is , neither do I have the interest finding out. If you got offended I suggest your double check the language used on a translator

    3. Being humbled, but definitely not being humble.
      Too bad so much is being destroyed for the Zelensky’s lack of humility. Or maybe they want it. Maybe the objective is to rid the country of Azov. Hopefully Ukraine’s leaders will come to their senses soon and avoid further destruction.

  4. Hold on Ukraine, this war is not fair, and it will take years to recover. With the help of the EU and NATO, the whole region will be safer.

  6. She and her husband are so brave and humble people, so sincere and open. Wish piece will come to Ukraine soon, they are paying high price for their right to existence. Stay song, all democratic world is supporting Ukraine ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช

    1. Proverbs 16:18
      Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
      Nope, nothing to do with being “humble”.

  7. your sincerity๐Ÿ‘†๐Ÿ‘† in helping people get their grant is just the best thing i have ever seen. i really do appreciate your effort and generosity. I successfully got my grant Thank you once again..

  8. CNN Forgot one thing about the coverage: INDONESIA PRESIDENT JOKOWI Has become the first asia nation to meet Ukraine President Zelensky.

  9. What a beautiful lady in every way! She and her husband will be forever remembered as Ukrainian treasures. May the Almighty give them both the strength and wisdom to face this pathetic Russian and Putin-inspired war. Ma y Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Andrey Sheptytsky, Blessed Vasyl Velychkovsky and all Ukrainian saints, First Testament Prophets (Elijah, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Amos etc), Jewish holy men and women, St Michael, Raphael and Gabriel and all the angels, intercede with the Almighty for the removal of Putin, Lavrov and his minions from power via a “special operation” from the heavens. May Ukraine be freed from Russian oppression.
