President Zelensky, down to earth, warm and deeply caring and always generous.
The southeast of Ukraine has turned into a scorched and barren land, with millions of Ukrainian citizens still residing there. Regions such as Soledar, Bakhmut, Ugledar, and others are in constant fear as civilians are relentlessly subjected to shelling.
What planet are you on.
Any flaws or is he the perfect human?
This guy is under enormous pressure! Don't know how he is still coping..
1000% agree! Prayers for this President!
Oh no, we are not forgetting your struggle, no way, not ever. Those who give themselves the luxury to live as if nothing is happening, are only putting their heads in the sand. This is a global catastrophe, we are all responsible and involved.
I am so thankful to our president Zelenskiy! He took responsibility for whole country, he has a big heart, empathy, he speaks for whole country, he takes care of people. Thank you so much, Volodymir Zelenskiy!
Thank you so much to all our brave people, which risk every second with their lives, health for our right to live in peaceful future, for our right to be. Thank you so much to all our volunteers, which for many years are trying to support army’s needs, civilian needs and lives!
Thank you so much to all people of the world for your support, for all your help! For your believe in us! I know, we, Ukrainians, know how much you are doing for us! And we are not alone in this fight for life!
I wish you all peaceful and happy life! May all people will live with respect and kindness to each other!
Very impressed with how massively Mr Zelenskys English has improved. It would be easier to say it in Ukrainian/Russian yet he sits there with a translator on hand for the odd word. This will be hard to do this. Very impressed all of that whilst fighting and invasion ❤. Slava Ukraine
You are right. He understands how much is depend on him. He has to improve every skill to get victory against to Putin’s terror

25 Feb 2022Feb 25 (Interfax) - State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin has named the mistakes made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. "Zelensky has made many mistakes during his presidential term: he has put undesirable politicians in prison, has played into the hands of nationalists, and has shut down media outlets.
Much respect for President Zelensky, glory to Ukraine.
SLAVA UKRAINI!
Never tire of listening to Zelenskiy.
Be careful, this sorcerer charms everyone, and then deceives. Charmed the whole of Ukraine, promising to establish peace. But as soon as he was chosen, he ignited the war even more. Europe will still suffer from his sorcery.
Up top Mr. President 🙌🏼
Listening to this may lead to recognition of bureaucratic back log for why WE NEED TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO SAVE UKRAINE.
the Ukrainian army is doing everything to protect the territories, but since Russia is not making progress on the battlefield, the Russian troops are committing genocide of the Ukrainian population, trimming the city, and the whole east of Ukraine in ruins, our task is not only to preserve Ukraine, but also help it recover all the territories that Russia has seized since 2014
We must rebuild Ukraine and use RuZZian money to pay for it. Thousands of men, women and children have died needlessly. Putin is a war criminal. Wake up RuZZia. You’re all complicit in his actions by supporting him.
Zelensky is 100% right 👍 NO comprises they must win💪🇺🇦💪🇺🇦
they are cannon fodder
Love him! Keep these interviews up
Do you want to have a baby with him?
We will never forget, and stand behind your country and the unbelievable way you fight for your existence. I wish you all in Ukraine a peaceful sky,
SLAVA UKRAINE HEROES 🇺🇦 ♥
What a sucker you are
Heroes in what?, killing innocent people in Dombass.
Many countries and states struggle to survive. Some are even losing more children. Total number of children in Ukraine is 430 many were technically child soldiers even. They are the only true civilians of Ukraine after Zelenskys draft of who remains after fleeing to seek refuge in my country or other parts of Europe. My country has given everything we got the help. But we must start to be critical because of all the propaganda on all sides from elite war propheteers. I am for the people of Ukraine but not the government who are basically Russian separatists.

@@ME-yp7fn The leading countries undertook to respect the sovereignty, independence and borders of Ukraine, and in case of aggression, immediate action by the UN Security Council to provide assistance to Ukraine. Since the UN Security Council is a hopeless body, the states are forced to provide additional weapons in order to keep their promise. Also because it is in the interest of their safety.
I will never forget about the greatness of Ukraine and I will keep on supporting you as much as I can here in Germany. Slava Ukraini!

45:15. You guys happen to catch what he said there? I did. He said that and I almost fell off my chair. Never heard him use profanity before. But I have to admit that I kinda like it.
I feel the guy so much. ❤ As someone who curses a lot, I really admire his usual restraint, no idea how he does it. I only watch this war from afar and in safety and I curse half the time when I watch the news or some commentators.
You go, Mr. President, sometimes you just gotta say it how it is. And it truly is ...... !
@@TheFeldhamster I also use a lot of curse words, I never felt bad about it😂..but Zelensky was kinda nervous to the point of looking at the reporter as if he needed her permission
@@facty_kit1742 he's obviously been brought up with old school gentlemanly manners. Just look back at his visit to the White House. Biden was just about to push him over the doorstep, but he wouldn't budge before Dr. Jill had stepped in.
So, I'm not really surprised he didn't just curse in front of two female reporters without checking if they're ok with it.
@@facty_kit1742 He probably was just making sure he wasn't going to offend her.

Great interview! Thank you
Finally a president who says what he means. Even the cussing. Alright president zelensky
Always great to see Mr. Zelenkyi. His English is really getting so much better. Congratulations. Let us hope Ukraine will win soon, start rebuilding and join both the EU and Nato. At least here in Europe, we all stand with Ukraine. Slava Ukraine and all the brave soldiers. 💙💛
''OH,'' that's so nice to here his English is improving, I'm so happy for him , tell that to families whos kids get snatched of the streets by the SBU and sent to the front to die in 4hrs, wake up Hazy.
We must continue our military aid! Only by uniting can we drive out the occupiers.
"WE". By "we", you mean more aid to the Ukraine so that more of THEM will die in an already lost war. You are not fighting in the war, do you? Disgusting.
Ukraine will definitely defeat Russia on the battlefield, and Russia will be destroyed!
Thank you for your support! It is very important for Ukraine's victory)))
@@danielgyllenbreider Are you a complete fool? Do you realize that the Russian army at the beginning of the war was much stronger than the Ukrainian army, but the Ukrainians survived, albeit with losses, what other questions do you have?
I pray that Ukraine gets everything it needs to win as soon as possible. This is the most important thing right now
Bravo ukraine❤❤
President Zelensky , im Irish so Proud of it as you are of Ukraine , I love America , The President of America s Family , comes from co Mayo in The West of Ireland and the President of America Mr Joe Biden is come home soon , to his Native Land Ireland , Please Mr President Zelensky the People of Ireland are With u and Ukraine , .Slava Ukraine .

Such Respect to President Zelensky in all he must contend with, esp the Nuclear Power Station .

Congratulations mr Zelensky your English has improved so much. So much compassion for your people and your country. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
I'm loving your english mr president👌🇬🇧🇺🇦
After the USSR fell, the US and UK pressured Ukaine to disarm by handing its large nuclear arsenal to Russia (!). In return, we pledged to protect Ukraine if they were ever attacked.
We should honor this commitment (read the Budapest Memorandum).
Send the ammunition, air defense systems, and warplanes now.
The Ukrainians have proven they are tough enough and smart enough to win. Let's not pull the rug out from under them by trickling too few weapons.
Problem is the more Ukraine strike inside Russia, the more escalation e.g the destruction of Ukraine infrastructure after the crimean bridge attack. Russia is in position to destroy Ukraine completely in an escalation. I foresee a nuclear war.
You are absolutely right. The most important thing is not to drag it out. People are suffering and dying. Ukraine needs to launch a counteroffensive as soon as possible and liberate the occupied territories
@@leisakovacek8965 Are our politicians listening? A lot of reluctance to provide planes.
if we fully back ukraine ww3 begins immediately
@@horrordirect Really? Is it really WW3 when 140 countries have asked 1 country to stop waging war, and only 4 countries oppose that 1 country stopping? I think the moment we fully back Ukraine, the war ends.

Thanks for the interview
The ongoing suffering of civilians due to shelling persists, as the situation in Donbas continues to deteriorate. Putin is committing a considerable number of forces to the conflict, employing tactics similar to those of terrorists.
- What will NATO give to Ukraine?
-Weapons and money. Akhmetov's team will write off the funds for the bureaucratic needs of the state. officials, and the shells will fly somewhere in the field, they will officially write: "~1000 orcs per day".
The illusion of controlling the situation. This is an illusion of peace for the west, with which the west is satisfied.!!!!!!!
It was interesting. I admire the Ukrainians and their president
I have all respect for him, it would be a better world if all leaders would be as grounded as him
President Zelenskiy ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
All partner countries should continue to supply weapons, as this could turn into a very protracted conflict.
It is Putin's goal to prolong the war. He cannot be allowed to do this
Ukrainian soldiers are incredibly resilient and brave, defending this city for 7 months is just crazy. Sadly, civilians suffer the most from russian attacks launched against peaceful cities. We need to help Ukraine to stop putin as soon as possible, before even more people will suffer.
They are being forced ( 16 year olds and old men) to serve knowing most will die because zelenski and Biden don’t care.

if zelensky not ask to join NATO
The only thing that will help Ukraine is weapons. It upsets me when politicians delay handing over needed weapons
@@leisakovacek8965 wrong. u wrongly reads the narrative

Slava Ukraine from Finland 💙💙💛💛
Great video. 👍The Ukraianians are the best army in the world right now. Victory to Ukraine ❤💙💛☮"
By increasing our military aid, we can minimize the need for future aid to Ukrainian civilians. It is crucial to join forces and stand up against the invaders, no matter the difficulties.
ON the same day this took place, (Mar.31/23) Hungery and Turkey have ratified Finland's application into NATO and was excepted. All member states of Nato have agreed to allow Finland to join NATO ... WELCOME FINLAND❤ .😊 WE STAND TOGETHER !
If it were not for the Ukrainians and their fortitude, Putin would have been in Europe long ago with his army.
Freedom for Ukraine from Russian terrorists, Russia should be isolated from the whole world((
Russia at that time is terrorists who illegally entered someone else's land!
IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE USA. OK
Millennials & Zoomers often get criticized by the older generations but I'm here to say that Ukraine's young people are a cut above us privileged Westerners maturity-wise. War does that to people.
Wonderful to listen to an authentic leader.
Slava Ukraini 💙💛

Major puppet
hero and let his peoples destroyed
@@ufowarrior1698 it is only possible to be insured against the aggression of Putin and save the lives of its citizens when Putin’s army is destroyed because Russia is the culprit of many conflicts, it is time to help Ukraine destroy the Kremlin regime and stop the suffering of civilians
You need counselling.
Previous Ukrainian president speaks better English, but character of pres. Zelensky is more sympathetic, easy going, a different generation.
The war is raging on all fronts. The hottest point is Bakhmut, which the Russians destroyed almost completely.
But they didn't destroy Ukrainian soldiers' morale. These soldiers know what they're fighting for, they know what will happen to other cities if Bakhmut falls. We've all seen what happens to the areas russians go through, they bring nothing but suffering and destruction with themselves. As Ukraine's allies, it's up to us to provide more military aid for Ukraine. With modern equipment and weaponry they will be more than able to repel the attacks of russian occupants.
@@jeraldkozey6095 the help of the Ukrainian army is now needed, the more we help Ukraine now, the less risk the Kremlin will start a new war, which will suffer civilized because we see that the tactic of the Russian army is terrorism aimed at the civilian population
According to recent reports, the tactics employed by the Kremlin bear similarities to those used by terrorists. Prigozhin's statement that the city was nearly surrounded was likely a false claim. Despite this, Ukrainian soldiers are managing to hold off the occupiers' advances on a daily basis.
Bakhmut is already painful to look at. Most towns in southeastern Ukraine already look like ruins. I hope this will end soon and Ukraine will be able to kick out the Russian terrorists. Ukraine needs support 🇺🇦
@@jeraldkozey6095 You are right. Ukraine's success depends on arms deliveries. And it is important to make sure that they succeed
Thank you for this interview...I really hope people aren't forgetting about this war. That's exactly what Putin wants.
I know it's hard but people are very rude and nasty 🤢, I'm so sorry y'all have to hear rude and nasty people but let me tell you something just look over them they're they're evil they're rude and nasty, I know it's hard I know it's hard I feel for you so much.

Very understandable not underestimated for Russia"s Putin cruelty to the wars of such a Predident Zelenzkyy so is Ukraine country i got to meet w/ a Zelenzkyy so that bravo Ukarini!
Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances refers....
to political agreements signed at the OSCE conference in Budapest,
As a result ...Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons. Until then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile, of which Ukraine had physical, but not operational, control.
Russia alone controlled the codes needed to operate the nuclear weapons via Russian-controlled electronic Permissive Action Links and the Russian command and control system."
Which means this nuclear weapons stockpile was only placed in Ukraine, it was the Territory of the Soviet Union, was placed by the Russian command of Soviet Union, due to strategically important location of Ukraine, nuclear weapons didn't belong to Ukraine. Ukraine didn't maintain it and could not operate it..
That boy's walking the last green mile and knows it.
14:26 Much of the world isn't sanctioning Russia though. Unless you think the world is the North America and Europe. Europe
Ya they always say the world but its only 20% of the world

Ahem, sorry, excuse me. But I need to ask you one thing. ARE YOU NUTS?! In case, you've been living under a rock this last year, you would know that Russia started all this. THEY are responsible for all the Ukrainian lives lost. What did you expect President Zelenskyy to do? Roll over and let them take his country? Would YOU do that?

I watch you Mr President, you are the guide for the future and spirit of Ukraine. Stay humble (iaea is suspect) as they have been natural in their ZNPP. when action was needed. and failed, germany was the leader of this.
