I'm watching this from Kyiv, sitting in a shelter during the airstrike alert and I'm laughing again for a few moments. Thank you!

From what I've heard from Moscow insiders, the fact that Zelenskyy has is becoming such an international hero is driving Putin crazy. And that pleases me to no end! :-)

Це моя країна, це наші хлопці. I'm so proud of our boys .❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ukraine is much bigger than just Kyiv. So many towns/cities/villages in Ukraine bravely resist the invasion - both the military and the civilians. Having said this, thank you for your support. I hope it's shown in action too.

During his inaugural address, Zelensky said in parliament: “I don’t want my photo in your offices. The president is not an icon, idol or portrait. Instead, put up a picture of your children and look at it every time you make a decision.”

"Can I tow you back to Russia?" - world class trolling right there. World Class.

I love that the dude asks his friend if he should say fuck you … it’s so human but also shows their courage and defiance in the face of such a moment

People talk a lot about how zelensky stayed to help his people, BUT note how few are also saying that not only did zelensky stay. But congress stayed and opposition leaders stayed. Almost all members of their government from local to national stayed with their people. That’s serving the people. That’s country before party. That’s what being a public servant is. Inspiring the public.

I just rewatched this today to remind myself how war began and what it felt like 1 year ago. Incredible then and now!
Slava Ukraiini! Heroyam slava! 💙🇺🇦✌️🕊️

Back then everyone thought Ukraine's defeat was imminent. Nowadays everyone knows, that Ukraine will not only survive, but will prevail.
Слава Україні!
героям слава!

Zelenskyy: a comedian who became a President.
Putin: a President who became a joke.

[NewMessage]

"...Not only has he stayed, he's become a national hero..."

Correction... a worldwide hero.

I am a Ukrainian soldier, and I mast say - thank you for your support, God bless America and Ukraine 🇺🇸 🇺🇦

1 year passed, and the MAN with Balls showed whole the world what is it to be a MAN!

[ashokmehta]

President Zalensky saying "I need ammunition, not a ride" is the quote of the century!

[johnmohblaxta]

There was a woman who gave Russian soldiers sunflower seeds, the national flower of Ukraine. She told them, "take these seeds and put them in your pocket so that sunflower may grow when you die here." Incredibly brave and brutally honest 🇺🇦💪🇰🇪🇺🇲
Edit: I respect that Russian soldier response. He was calm, respectful and didn't want to be there in the first place.

The people of Ukraine are incredible. They will forever be remembered and revered for this and no matter what, Putin will forever be known as a crazy, evil coward. Slava Ukraini.
