European media cites such words from Zelensky’s speech: “We see our future in the EU. What should the EU do? Just to take Ukraine to the EU, these are very complex things, although these are very simple solutions. We signed an association agreement, we support the course in the EU, but we must understand that not only Ukraine should and wants to join the EU. But the European Union, some EU countries, should also want to attract Ukraine to the EU. The question is not when we will be in the EU. The question is what status Ukraine will have in the EU, what will be the attitude to our country. Attitude to a powerful player, a country that is respected, or which is looked down on? And it seems to me that now is a very convenient moment. One big country made an exit, maybe for Ukraine it’s time to enter. ”

In addition, Zelensky suddenly began to complain about his difficult fate during his speech: “I have been the president of Ukraine for 248 days. And all these days I worked for Ukraine and did not have time for myself. It’s hard for me to explain to my children why I’m not at home with them. ”

Meanwhile, at the beginning of this year Zelensky fell into a scandal, just related to his vacation. The President of Ukraine secretly flew with his wife to resort in Oman and was photographed in a luxury hotel there. The photos got into the media, after which the President of Ukraine had to invent that it was an official trip, which he carried out at his own expense.

From Davos Zelensky will fly to Israel. By the way, recently the President of Ukraine tried to make a demarche, insisting that he be given the floor in Jerusalem at the Holocaust forum. Otherwise, Zelensky threatened to refuse a trip to Israel. As a result, the President of Ukraine wasn't allowed to speak, but at the same time, his visit to Jerusalem was not canceled.

Now Zelensky is asking the Russian delegation to let him hold a meeting in Jerusalem with Vladimir Putin . The Russians have not yet given a definite answer, they just have not ruled out that a meeting could be held “on their feet,” that is, fleeting communication.

Surprisingly hostile toward Zelensky. He must be a good guy.

How would you describe Zelensky, in a way that Americans could pigeonhole him on the political spectrum?

Just being a comedian is no crime, unless one is a US Senator from MN. So why the outward hostility to a Ukrainian President by the Euros?

Does he have any good ideas to help Ukraine keep its independence from Russia?

Or is he a front man for oligarchs?

I'll be here all week. Try the chicken Kiev!

There is nothing wrong with his remarks. He presents himself well.

So again, its odd the hostility toward him.

Empty suit? Sounds like Zelensky would make a good PM of Russia.

The Soros crowd must be mad at Zelensky for some reason.

Didn’t they also send him a letter with a set of demands?

Fiasko should be fiasco.

There is nothing new about the Ukraine wanting to join the EU. Besides trade they view it as a measure of protection against further Russian aggression.
