Since the beginning of the war, President Zelenskyy has had to be on camera explaining why the rest of the world needs to invest in Ukraine, but what I cannot fathom is why any explanation is even necessary. It's as if us Americans and many others have amnesia about anything that happened before 1989 or beyond our own borders. Ukraine has not asked for troops or for any other country to fight with them or for them. The money that allies are 'giving' are being spent back to the countries for military hardware and of course future 'thank yous' are be pledged. We should not be asking WHY we need to support Ukraine but HOW Ukraine would like us to support their country. Slava Ukraini, not just for Ukraine, but for everyone.

I'm an Ukrainian. I was critical to all the leaders I've seen in Ukraine before 2022. Including Mr. Zelensky. But since 2022 and also today I'm proud of my President for being honest and telling the truth. No one was ever able to stop the evil with negotiations. Russians and their allies will blow the world they are not able to compete with. Trying to negotiate you`ll just pass the war to your children. Stand with Ukraine.

To see the pain on his face is gut-wrenching! I stand with Ukraine and call my lawmakers regularly. We can and must do more to help Ukraine keep its blooming democracy.

[BeYourselfMan]

Now this is what you call a GREAT LEADER !!

[ElizabethAnderson-tp]

Get behind this extraordinary leader before it is too late!

[Dunebuggy]

I hope Ukraine gets all the help it needs.

Thank you, CBS and Charlie D'Agata, for this interview. Unfortunately, Ukraine is no longer in the headlines. Over the past week were the heaviest bombardments since the start of the full-scale invasion with many civilian lives lost. Very sad that only Moscow was covered. Thank you, for bringing Ukraine to our attention again.

Air Defense is crucial to ground Forces effectively accomplishing the obstacles and achieving goals! Please support Ukraine. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

By helping Ukraine, USA Republicans can prove they respect all Democratic Republics & they make good allies. Zelenskyy speaks his mind with great clarity.

[yanalysenko]

[Amanda-sxwk]

I am ashamed of the US for not fulfilling our promise, especially after we took so much of their nuclear and naval/air power away and promised to protect them years ago!

The Free World, the Democratic World will win if it helps Ukraine.
It is very important.

[juliasnider]

Thanks for having this interview, it is important for us to know what is going on.

Zelenskyy is a great leader. Hope peace will come soon but my gut is telling me we are heading to world war 3 as early as mid 2025. I am from Turkey and I stand with Ukraine ❤ peace 🙏🏻

[andrewstromfeld]

It's unfortunate that the U.S. can't think and chew gum anymore... 😣

[Speakfordemocracy]

[RisingPhoenix]

This is a heart wrenching, very thorough interview! It's the best one I've seen and you gave Zelenskyy all the space he needed to really explain so many things to so many that have trouble seeing a bigger picture! Thanks so much for this! Slava Ukraini!!!
