๐บ๐ฆ I used to be a big critic of President #Zelensky, now i am the greatest admirer of his courage and bravery. Difficult times like this show the true leader & unlike coward #Putin hiding in the Urals behind nukes, Zelensky is a true leader, calmly drinking tea with his soldiers pic.twitter.com/zk9AVENFdb
