@Mr Mr Jims
Your mother should be imprisoned for having someone like you talking bs like you do. The only one talking about using nuclear weapons is Putin. Lawrow is a liar like you are b/c the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said last week that it did not see any evidence for the claims about a possible nuclear weapons program in Ukraine. “Our agency has found no evidence that nuclear material declared in Ukraine is being diverted from the peaceful use of nuclear energy,” So shhh Putin Fanboy 🤡🤡🤡
@Houdini Sorry dude, that was Yanukovych, who released violent felons, to attack peaceful protestors.
CNN is praising him. 🤔
Its a shame we dont have more world leaders like him…
@dande tande Reagan was a “Hollywood person”. Get bent.
@jim Hartung Stop it. Zelensky is Jewish, and had family die in the Holocaust. He doesn’t admire Nazis. BTW Why did Putin blow up the Babi Yar Holocaust Memorial?
@Natalia Elizarova Nah, Putin and Trump are both worse than Zelensky. All they care about is making themselves rich.
Because he is not a world leader just a comedian actor playing his role as president
@guest user america would be worst with zelensky in charge
This guy is unbelievable.. a modern hero! He has it all he has a beautiful family, bravery, he’s funny and handsome.. and he has an amazing country full of people who are willing to fight and die by his side. I can’t even get loyalty from my own family in America 🤣🤣
On a serious note.. I really hope this all ends, and this brave beautiful man can be with his country and family safe again one day 😔 all of the brave people in Ukraine deserve a beautiful day where they can be together to mourn their dead and hold their remaining families close. I’m so sorry, Ukraine 😔
@Mr Mr Jims I finally see a sensible comment❤️
The core of the Russia-Ukraine issue is NATO’s eastward expansion. Historically, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus were all part of the same east Slavic civilization. However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the relationship between Russia and Ukraine has not been well determined, especially since the second half of the 20th century, NATO began to expand eastward. By the beginning of the new century, countries very close to Russia, such as Georgia and Ukraine, would also join NATO. The dispute arose from what Russia sees as NATO’s transformation from a defense-oriented institution to a strategic, territorial one.
An argument didn’t have to lead to war normally. It was Ukraine and NATO’s actions that provoked the war by challenging Russia without limits. Your views will always lurk on the surface and fail to penetrate the subtleties of Ukraine, NATO, and American .
The actions of the US and its Western Allies against Russia are aimed at distorting facts, inflaming tensions and perpetuating regional crises in order to maintain the hegemony of the US and its Western Allies themselves. Russia has every right to defend its rights and keep the immediate danger away from its people. The policies of western countries led by the United States have become a serious threat to international peace and security. If not stopped in time, this is the root cause of the outbreak of World War III, not the surface of the Russia-Ukraine war.
War between Russia and Ukraine could have been avoided, but NATO and the United States undoubtedly contributed indirectly to it.
The biggest crisis facing the world today is the power and tyranny of the United States and its followers, which destroy the foundation of international peace and stability. The unilateral and unfair Cold War mentality of the United States and its gang-like foreign policy have gradually led to a new cold War pattern in international relations. Political and military tensions in hot spots around the world are increasing day by day, and new problems are emerging one after another.
The United States has ignored Russia’s legitimate security requirements, blindly pursued hegemony and military superiority, and unilaterally imposed sanctions on Russia. The root cause of the situation in Ukraine lies in its power and imperiousness. The unilateral enlargement and threat of NATO have destroyed the balance of power in Europe and seriously threatened Russia’s national security.
The US believes that its interference in other countries’ internal affairs is a “just” act to safeguard world peace and stability, while other countries’ self-defensive measures are “unjust” and “provocative”. This is an arrogant double standard.
xaxaxaxaxaxa
He is a hero of all the countries that love freedom.
@Israel Romero He could instead protect Ukranian civillians by not making them involved. And losing their lives just to keep him in government.
They aren’t “fighting for their country” they are fighting to keep a few rich politicians like zelensky in power.
It doesnt make them brave it makes them stupid to give their lives so that a few rich politicians like zelensky can keep their jobs.
Zelensky once shut down 3 television stations because they were criticizing him and his policies.
He imprisoned the head of the opposition political party that had come in second place in their elections. Then went and arrested and jailed that parties leaders. Why? Because they almost won and he wanted the power… This is exactly what Putin has been accused of, only the Ukraine had the support and help of the USA
The media keeps trying to convince you Zelensky is some great hero type of president. He isn’t… stop trusting the propaganda.
@ “Life will win over death and light will win over darkness” — President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
This guy is the equivalent to Captain America standing up for justice
@Mr Mr Jims This has to be one of the most ignorant comments I have ever seen delete this right now it’s never to late Zelensky is a HERO Putin is an idiot
@Omotayo Satuyi Putin pays his tiny salary in worthless Rubles. He’s too cowardly to go rot face down in a Ukrainian street, so he’s stuck in a shitty apartment, parroting his masters, dreaming of someday being able to buy a shitty, used Lada.
@Ari Putin sucks, and so does any Russian who has remained in Russia to see how bad it will get.

I wasn’t one of his supporters originally, actually on a contrary , but tried to understand who he is and i remember watching an interview with his father, where he said that all I can tell about my son is that he is an honest person. This is the way he was raised by me.
Sir, your son is also a brave person and a patriot. Thank you Sir for your son.
God is my witness- we couldn’t have asked for a better man for the job
Slavs Ykraini!
@Cl1nton Body count Keep civilians safe? How? Bombing houses, kindergartens and hospitals?
@Rob H. there are Nazi in Ukraine. You a nazi sympathizer?
@bob bob There are nazis in every country, the amount of nazis in Ukraine totals to around 1,600 at the highest. Ukraine has a population of 44 million, do I have to teach you basic fractions so that you can understand why the difference in these numbers is evident.
@bob bob follow up to my previous comment, one nazi group in Russia totaled 100,000. So, I think you should do research before calling out a country with a Jewish president for nazism
@ “Life will win over death and light will win over darkness” — President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
I feel honored just to be witnessing this man’s acts of courage and heroism.
We are literally watching a monumental person in history being made right before our eyes 👀
You are witnessing a actor who is corrupted in the Ukraine government
@Izzywizzy The liberal media wants you think that Putin is the good guy.
Ukraine is a Capitalist country, friendly with Europe and America.
The commies hate that. Don’t let the radial left manipulate you into supporting Putin.

@Chilkat River Although I can agree the liberal media is definitely terrible they aren’t making Putin out to be a good guy at all and actually the very opposite. I think the leaders of most countries deserve to be separated from the regular citizens of countries in most cases. I can’t seem to think of any leaders currently that I am positive are doing good unfortunately.
God protect president Zelensky and the people of Ukrainians and brave citizens of Russia, who are risking their life to protest against this mad man called Putin’s war crime!!!
@Leo Esser You do realize you can simply Google search and find what I said is true.
Doesn’t take a rocket scientist
@NeEd InPuT I prefer to believe that you are not that naive to trust everything that you read. Propaganda does exist from all sides on every topic. It is an easy choice if you are choosing between Putin or Zelensky, since Putin has had many years to unveil who he is and what he stands for.
https://youtu.be/GrN7eW2OSWw
@Leo Esser Erm.. yet you trust CNN 😂
Oh man, and preaching about propaganda
Classic!
@Leo Esser So let me get this straight, you are stating it’s naive to trust everything that one may read. And preaching about propaganda and not to trust it.
Yet, you are watching and trusting what CNN tells you 🙄 and they covered the stories I mentioned above.
So CNN lied then?
“Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.” -Charlie Chaplin
@Mr Mr Jims Didn’t he imprison his closest political opponent as well?
@Napoli C” Rational thinking people” 🤔 You need a brain for that.
@Mr Mr Jims yeah it’s not like Putin doesn’t have the right to deny a sovereign country….I dunno IT’S SOVEREIGNTY? Ukraine has the right to join NATO if it wants to it’s not Russia’s decision. Whether it’s a threat to Russia or not Russia should’ve resolved that through other means like trying to befriend and appeal to Ukrain you know….instead of MOUNTING A FUCKING INVASION FORCE AT THE BORDER !!! it wasn’t an act of defense it was an act of WAR you muppet.

Whether he makes it out of this or not, he has earned the world’s respect. I hope he lives to witness the love and respect.
@Berkt_ The eWorld isn’t just America or NATO countries. That statement tells us what we need to know about you.
@NeEd InPuT WTF are you talking about? Lol! So he’s just a power crazy comedian. Yeah, right. Lol.

@FreeDumb Bot paid for directly by putin himself. Shut the hell up.
@janeen harris You do realize a simple Google search will bring up all I stated and you can see it’s fact.
He is the modern day Braveheart who stands for “every man dies, but not every man truly lives” which captures the heart of every human being.

And you’re an anti gun liberal. Make up your mind.

Zelennsky said that every square, anywhere, should be called ” Freedom Square “. I say that he should be called the President of every people who trust in freedom and democracy.
Whatever will happen you will always remain an example of bravery and determination to be followed.
Truly inspiring in these dark days and also in the times that will come!
Thanks for your service and dedication, you are the President I would ever wanter.
Long life to democracy, freedom and Ukraine!
God bless this President and Long live Ukraine!🇺🇦
I wish we would have a leader like him. Both in Hungary and in the U.K.
