Sunday

among world leaders today for his courage, concern for his country, service to his country and to democracy, and development of defense systems that are useful beyond Ukraine. I don't know how he keeps up his spirits, humanity, and courage in the face of so many challenges that he and his nation face.

Under Zelenskyy's leadership, Ukraine is preserving democracy not only for Ukraine, but for Europe and as an example for the rest of the world. Maybe belief in and commitment to those democratic and humane principles are what gives him strength to keep going.
