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.

Never thought we would see a man like this again. He will be remembered forever.

The immense symbolism of a head of state not running away in the midst of grave danger is legendary. That's why his people are putting up the fight.

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!

Zelensky. The story of how a man went from well-known comedian to a War-Time President in a spam of 2 years.

This man acted in movies and comedies others had written. Now movies will be written about him. People will say ‘as courageous as zelensky, or as courageous as Ukraine. May God favor this nation and deliver them from evil.

this is an example for all leaders...this man, has solidified his name in history for what a real leader looks like

[grayskindablue]

“I’m not iconic, I think Ukraine is iconic” was just such an unexpected thing for him to say it made me genuinely laugh.

[joanneodonnell]

You can't help but love this man how he stands to fight for his homeland and all his people you can see they love him haven't seen this in a long time I'm praying for Ukraine

[oscarrojas]

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 👀

Zelensky is mind blowing he is way more than just being a comedian .Zelensky is multi talented !

[kseniiakliches]

I am proud of our president and I am proud of my country! I am praying for him, his family and every single person who was involved in the situation!

Sean Penn really said it well in his interview- "I wonder if he knew that he was born for this". endless inspiration when I hear this man speak, truly the leader his country needs

[uyjvklv]

He is a hero of all the countries that love freedom.

[Smokie]

Its a shame we dont have more world leaders like him...

[foryt]

My heart breaks for the children who have died as a result of this war. No words can express the sorrow and pain that many of us feel for those who have been affected. God bless you!

He's got a huge set of 🥜 for staying with his people. Other leaders would have left. He has the world's respect and so does Ukraine. 🇺🇦❤️
