"Yes, Ukraine *was* beautiful. But now, it will become great." Must-see video from Zelensky!

[highplainsdem]

EDITING A SECOND TIME. THIS VIDEO WAS TWEETED BY UKRAINE'S MINSTRY OF DEFENSE. SEE REPLY 7 BELOW.

Tweeted by Molly McKew minutes ago. I don't know the original source of this video yet, but it's amazing. (I've corrected her slight misquote of the video for the thread title here.)

EDITING TO ADD THAT THE VIDEO IS FROM PRESIDENT ZELENSKY, AND IT WAS SHOWN ON FAREED ZAKARIA'S SHOW. TWEETS ABOUT THAT BELOW THE VIDEO.

2. This hasn't been posted by either Zelensky's or Ukraine's official Twitter account yet, which is

why I wasn't sure of the source initially.

It will be beautiful again. The good of the world will lend support & their many hands to rebuild.

NATO will be there to pick up the pieces & assist, because that is its purpose.


The Motherland Monument is a monumental statue in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.
The sculpture is a part of the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War.

4. Yes, it will be beautiful again. And it will be a reminder, for many years to come, of the need

for the good people of the world to unite against evil.

15. Thanks to Putin's efforts, Ukraine could build back better big time once the dust has settled.

A tragically clean slate in too many areas offers opportunities for green, sustainable and liveable regeneration that I hope the Ukrainian Government will manage well with and for its people.
