Zelenskyy is the tallest man in the world.

That alone must drive Putin absolutely nuts.

I'm sure Putin thought Zelenskyy would be a pushover, someone who would leave the country at the start of the invasion.

Many, many surprises.

He's the man that Putler could only ever pretend to be. I'm sure that's a big part of why he hates him so much.

Who else is going through such destruction, loss, and horror with such courage and ingenuity against a large nuclear power? This war is not only for the sovereignty and democracy of Ukraine, but for democracy everywhere. Yes, the US and other nations are giving aid to Ukraine, but it is the Ukrainians who have inspired that aid with their dedication, good use of the aid, and successes.

Ukraine is now the defender of democracy in the world. They are the ones suffering and dying but the rest of the world also benefits from what they are doing.
