Something Volodymyr Zelensky Said

Following are three quotes from Volodymyr Zelensky, president of Ukraine:

— “It's a victory when the weapons fall silent and people speak up.”

— "I want to do something to change the mistrust towards politicians.”

— " The president can't change the country on his own. But what can he do? He can give an example.”

At the outset of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky was presented an opportunity to flee his country in the name of personal safety.  He famously responded: “I need ammunition, not a ride.”

In the weeks of continuous war following the invasion of Ukraine, Zelensky has proven himself a remarkable and fearless man.  He has lived up to the last two quotes I shared above.

The Ukrainians have proven similarly remarkable.
