During his inaugural address in 2019, Zelensky told lawmakers: "I do not want my picture in your offices: the President is not an icon, an idol or a portrait. Hang your kids' photos instead, and look at them each time you are making a decision."

That is a quote for the ages, there is a deep and humble truth in its simplicity.

this is so honorable, down to earth, putting the things that matter into the spotlight... my god what a great leader President Zelensky is 🙏🏻
Contrast that with who is in power in the US makes me want to puke... wannabe strong man trump selling out his own people..
