Russia wants him to flee so that casala go burst... Dude said no like a typical Jew who was in Warsaw (Poland) and saw war tire.

Zelensky is just saying one thing to Russia and that's : " we die here together"

This is why Nigeria need a young and vibrant Leader in 2023. America asked him if they should come and pick him up from the war zone he said no. They should provide him with some weapons. Real Man.
How old is Trump and Biden huh

The west is hell bent on destroying Ukraine. They are more concerned about fueling the war than sincerely seeking solution.

Calling this man a hero sounds stupid and funny. What has he done ? They know he is senseless so they are calling him a hero just to massage his ego.

It took America and NATO 8 months to kill Ghadaffi even with high handed military might yet they never called him a hero

It too Nigeria and their allies 3 years to get Ojukwu to surrender yet some people mischievously call Ojukwu a coward. I believe that some Nigerians who call Ojukwu a coward believe that Ukrainian president is a hero. Hypocrites everywhere.

The list goes on.

And here we are seeing some people address a man who fought only few days with very minimal Russian military might a hero

The west and their media are hypocrites.
They want to destroy Ukraine. Unfortunately Ukraine doesn't have a wise president.
I
So says a Nigerian who has never voted for a wise president or governor in his country.
But can recognise a wise president whe he sees one.

Airstrikes cannot kill Zelensky because the Russians will not know the particular place he is hiding in Ukraine.
The only way Russia can get him is to conquer Kyiv with Russian infantry and declare the state a Russia state and enthrone their own government. This route is very very very very hard for Putin to achieve

They need 500, 000 soldiers plus other supply men and officers to conquer and occupy Ukraine

He is a comedian so don't blame him.
Putin isn't even serious in the war because they are their younger brother.

Russia can level Ukrainian in 12hrs in a serious war
As for me!
I did not want the war in the first place because I believed that the war will be too costly for both Ukraine and Russia.
What baffles me is this who or what are the facts that made zelensky to think/believe that a war with Russia will be in the good interests of the Ukraine and it's people

Stay away from being a coward and start learning from courageous Zelenskyy.

On the contrary if it is to level kyiv.that is the easy part for any military action.

Putin does not want to take that route because of the collasal damage that kyiv will incur!
Both how long does zelensky think he will hold on
That kyiv is surrounded by Russian forces.all it's supply routes are blocked
It's airspace is locked
Escape routes are under Russian control

Ukraine was cut off from the initial discussion on their own issue.
The us had a meeting with Russia without the involvement of Ukraine
And the us did not discuss with Ukraine
The EU literally went to Russia to discuss Ukraine and still Ukraine was left out.
Russia said it was not even interested with a discussion with anyone I. Ukraine
But earlier zelensky and Putin had met but the meeting crashed.
Up till now why zelensky and Putin had misunderstanding has never been communicated

Look at the map again and tell me how Kyiv is surrounded. Kyiv is a very vast city. There are many highways out of Kyiv which are still much available to Ukrainians...there's a Super highway to Lviv and the Polish border... Russian Soldiers are only occupying small small border towns

Oga you took that map from BBC and was last updated some days ago because of Mariupol and Kherson and the rest.
Kyiv is surrounded by Russian army and has caught off surplies going into kyiv.if you were saying lviv.i won't argue but kyiv.
Forget that city (kyiv) is locked in.
Is the Russia army within that kyiv city(perhaps)
Is there Ukrainians forces within kyiv(yes)
Is the Ukrainian forces intermingled with the populace(yes)
That city alone has 3000000 (that is a lot of Ukrainians to think about)

Kiev is 839km square. 8 times the size of Owerri then less than 150,000 troops will surround it. Hope you know Ukraine is second largest country in Europe after Russia itself. This map is current. Even Mariupol that they conquered have fallen back to Ukrainian militants. I belong to one Ukrainian and Russian group on Telegram with over 700k members. What they normally sound is airstrike sirens for people to take cover. Then after some minutes or hours they come from their bidding.

Once their airspace is secured now, Russia will be gone. As for the Land routes, no headway for Russian troops now

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is truly a hero who would not abandon his people in the time of trouble.
A man who can command the respect of his citizens in the time of trouble is a great man.

I cannot follow any Nigerian politician and lose my life in the process, but thousands from even other countries have heeded his call in a battle where they are outnumbered and outgunned.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a great man, a hero: I can follow such a man!

I wish I can can give you hope that Ukrainian forces will take over their airspace and the ground force can push back the Russian army but I can't

Mariupol is just an unfortunate incident that went to confirm Putin's assertions!
Those Ukrainian militants you pointed out in the bolded are the Nazi sects that Russia has been saying right?those sects that now have proliferated weapons in their hands right?

Well it goes from bad to serious worse does it not?
Because militants are not known for peace but for war and will push their own agenda

So this war has gone straight to Syrian conflict model!!


What it means is this!Ukraine is not coming out of this war with a victory song against Russia because Russia will be crucial to stabilize Ukraine
But I do hope that Ukraine can win against it's internal war against militants

He could have chosen to flee with bags of cash and nobody would blame him. Staying means he's not fighting for personal gain, but for all Ukrainians.

Watch how Putin's trolls and US haters would come and blame him for putting up a resistance and leave the main person causing this unprovoked hardship and killings.

If you ask them, they'll tell you US did this and that, why can't Russia do the same? Which is very stupid because you're blaming US for doing wrong, and yet see nothing wrong in Russia following the same foot steps. Makes no sense.
Forget bro... Na second tenure he fit dey plan. Politics broad. He can still Japa wen tins intensifies. I watched a video where Trump's Aid or wot called him(zelensky) a puppet. He said theirs notin heroic about his act, nd dat Russia was being gentle on him but he failed to take d chance. Sympathy doesn't win war, if peace doesn't reign, in no distant time kyiv will turn to shambles. He is making a mistake! Russia can choose to retreat it's land soldiers, den use nuke nd upturn kyiv. Who lose?

I am not watching CNN, go and look for 200rf.com you see with your eye. It is a Russian Channel. Russians confirmed tha Zelensky kept calling Putin for days before the invasion, Putin no gree talk to him. Instead Putin kept talking with his Belarusian counterpart. And America never abandoned him. He is winning the war. Dude have given a good account of himself.

How can you expect a President with a legitimate mandate and term of office to just leave power, because you are Russia. You yourself will you do so? A man elected by his own people.
