I admire President Zelensyy, he got guts. In 2014 in UK, I didn't hear much about Crimea has taken by Russia that's terrible for Ukraine. Now that I watch news on Ukraine War every day. I hope wars everywhere, Syria, Yemen, Palestine, etc end in amicable talks and understanding. Too much bloodshed. I was born in Japan and there's no army, then became British citizen, Queen celebrate 70th year but army sent everywhere, also to Ukraine. I feel anxious but support Ukraine's causes. Everyone, stop criticising and discriminating each other but try to understand and be kind as we survived pandemic and every lives matter (even young and probably brain washed Russian soldiers on order by Putin new Hitler, then then dead like pawns). There's two side in every story.

Ukrainians do have creative minds capable of bringing viable solutions to the table, not just for the benefit of Ukraine either but also their neighbors.

I really hope that at least some of Ukrainian president's strategies will become a reality.

Dear Stanford, I am so sorry you had to listen to this. ))
Just keep in mind: He's the biggest-headed president in Ukraine's history. And likes to give himself credit for other people's achievements.

Dont trust this person - he is actor, and also a big liar 🤥 . People voted him because of corruption in previous gov, but he dont do anything . Only " give me more money "
