Voloadymir Zelenskyy. What a man. Instead of runnng into exile when a superpower like a Russia attacks his small nation, he stood there, challenging, organising, and then going helter-skelter, in his simple army-green T-shirt, to many nations in the world, requesting help, realizing his country could not do it alone. No one, including Russian president, Putin expected this, Zelenskyy being an actor and comedian as his former career! Who knows, perhaps it was this career that made Putin think that this was an opportune moment to attack Ukraine. He may have thought that a nation run by a political minnow was easy meat. Ha ha! Wrong presumption!
Sorry, for that comical, tongue in statement. Thousands of lives have been lost, men, women, old, young and children. People have been displaced, Lives have been turned into upside down, into hell. All for what? Land? Wretched land!
To all the nations of the world. Let the past be past. Do not have the urge or temptation to take back the land that you had somehow let go out of your hand. Start a new beginning. Please respect human lives. Live and let live, There is enough natural disasters on this earth to think about; the earthquakes, the volcanoes, thunderstorms, tornadoes, typhoons, floods, heatwaves not to mention the uncontrolled demonic fires, etc, etc.
Coming back to our Zelenskyy, he, Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy is not too old, just forty years old and is married with two children. He comes from an Ukrainian Jewish family. He has been the President of Ukraine since 2019, after popularly winning the election. He was a likeable actor and comedian, and being a household face and name, winning was not too hard. He possesses a degree in law.
Many statesmen are known for something, like for bravery, or for strictness or for hastiness or even for tyranny. Though President Zelenskyy has received certain awards like Freedom Award and Courage Award from USA and Leadership Award from UK, to me, and I am sure many of you will agree, President Zelenskyy is known for his persistancy. His persistancy in travelling all over the world to request for weaponry has fruited in several NATO countries sending all sorts of armaments to Ukraine, to fight the disliked and uninvited war.
The younger generation could learn a thing or two on persistancy from Zelenskyy. That persistancy pays. If there is a 'Persistancy Award', it should be given to one Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy!
