Listening to President Zelensky it is understandable that he is being described as an impressive war leader. He states that the Russians need to fight back and overthrow Putin, who he claims is sending unarmed young boys to be cannon fodder. He is a realist and says this is a extremely dangerous phase, although he refuses to comment on whether Putin will use nuclear weapons. President Zelensky's demeanour isn't over-confident, words are chosen carefully to avoid Putin over-reacting, but it is clear he isn't afraid of Putin because Russian morale is abysmal. The West maybe ignorant of culture, history now, however, President Zelensky impresses one that he will be an influencer, educator, world leader who will unite countries against future invasion, if only Ukraine could win now.

There have been many times I've not agreed with them on this one. Usually I just hope they'll do better next time. This time I'm just livid! They've done nothing towards creating any type of peace with this ridiculous political appeasement! I'd hoped Zellensky and Ukraine would get it, they deserve it. But to have the audacity to include Belarus and Russia is just beyond disgusting! Nothing else has stopped this war, so I fail to understand their reasoning of "hope" that this will bring it to an end. If they truly felt that way, they are naive beyond measure. Belarus and Russia will see this as nothing more than positive feedback, regardless of who the award is intended for. I find it beyond contemptuous. Imho, a slap in the face to Zellensky and the people of Ukraine, not to mention ALL the countries trying to help Ukraine! They are an embarrassment and I hope the world at large tells them so! What a mockery!
