  1. I like this guy he looks like he can be the best president and the way he act is cool also as people will love him more

  2. He makes me proud to be jewish

  3. I really doubt this comedian is even in Ukraine ! We don’t see him visiting the fighters at the front or even the Hospital’s at the back, I believe he’s a coward with a big mouth and even bigger ego !

  4. pray for Ukraine/Russia…this president not think of his people's

  5. who start the war? Volodymyr Zelensky busy all day asking people to fight, people are killed because of the war he triggered, why did he not go to peace talk and settle the dispute he created. Russia does not want their land or life, they gave Ukraine independence Russia just wants Ukrance neutral. Volodymyr Zelensky just wants to use the people's life to gain membership in the EU. EU has already turned down its membership application because of EU stability. Volodymyr Zelenskyto put the West and Russia to world war for his EU membership. Life can be spared by Volodymyr Zelensky but he just does not want to, he cried every day to join the EU and nato, no comprise, the more people killed, the higher chance he gets sympathy with people's blood. They use the humanity of people's sympathy to meet their demand to join the EU. He triggers the war NOT a hero.

  6. From WV USA 🇺🇸 God bless this great hero. Keep him safe in your name Jesus Christ King of Kings and Lord of Lords. 🙏 God you are the Almighty God who controls our universe and we pray your hand upon Ukraine 🇺🇦. Yes it is written prophecy will be full-filled but by your grace and and the faith, strength and courage from all Ukrainians it doesn’t have to be today, this week or this year or the next years to come. With your mercy it can be delayed. We praise you and give you all the glory and beg for your mercy and for defeat against Satan’s man Mr. Putin. Innocent people are being slaughtered by the enemy Satan and his right hand servants. Lord we pray that all the people in Ukraine 🇺🇦 will pray and repent and accept you as their Lord and savior no matter what your plan is for all of them. Lord we pray 🙏 for your almighty power to reign down on Putin and shut this war down. In Jesus name we pray. Amen 🙏 and Amen.

  7. Putin: has military
    Zelensky: has social media
    😂😆

  8. Good men and strong president 🔥

  9. And there is the scandal surrounding the so-called Pandora's papers, in which Zelenski is involved – an alleged puritan and fighter against the oligarchs. An investigation by an international network of journalists revealed that Zelensky owns offshore property.

  10. Biden puppet… wouldn't investigate Hunter and Joe's corruption in Ukraine… He is an actor, a fake and is leading his people into disaster…

  11. This man is a complete idiot. This isn't a comedy sir…. This man is so corrupt, and a puppet of the elite… I hope Putin gives him what deserves… Also its a war crime to have non uniformed citizens fight in wartime….

  12. President Zelenskyy you are Amazing 🤓 Beautiful Soul ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am Praying for Ukraine and for all that are fighting against the 😈 Devil. Love 💝 And Light 💖 To All 💞

  13. Я хочу допомогти і боротися, але я не відпускаю, вибач. я збираю речі, щоб зробити щось для слави україни слави героїв. Я молюся за вас і Бог з вами. будь сильним, бережи себе. моє серце з вами. багато любові з Нідерландів

    YA khochu dopomohty i borotysya, ale ya ne vidpuskayu, vybach. ya zbyrayu rechi, shchob zrobyty shchosʹ dlya slavy ukrayiny slavy heroyiv. YA molyusya za vas i Boh z vamy. budʹ sylʹnym, berezhy sebe. moye sertse z vamy. bahato lyubovi z Niderlandiv

  14. A comedian turned tv star with 0 political experience or skill sets is voted into office? Reeks of corruption.

  15. When a comedian becomes a president, that is what happens.

  16. Don't give up Ukraine fight and when you feel like you can't fight no more fight even more send every jet bomb missile into Russia and blow up Russia this will end the war

  17. Take the biggest and the baddest bombs that you have and send them into Russia fight fire with fire

  18. Take the water Russia start bombing Russia cities residential neighborhoods send fighter jets every single one of them that you have to Russia and bomb the hell out of Russia

  19. This is what a true idiot is. He ruined his country and mess up the economie global wise. He is another fasist that shuted down channels that criticised him, abolished the second biggest parti in the country and imprisoned his leader, he also hired fu..cking nazis in the army. He is a shame for ukraine and humanity.
