18 things to know about Volodymyr Zelensky, showman, 'Paddington' voice and Jewish defender of Ukrainian democracy · 1. He had an “ordinary Soviet Jewish ...

11. He voiced Paddington in the Ukrainian-dubbed versions of the “Paddington” movies. 9. He won the Ukrainian equivalent of “Dancing with the Stars” in 2006. He also posted pictures of his dogs Peter and Nora. And shortly after taking office, he posted a picture of himself eating a shawarma sandwich, writing, “When you have a busy schedule, shawarma can be the solution. One piece of his comedy team’s shtick was to pound the keys with their pants at their ankles and their hands in the air — leaving little room for guessing how the music was getting made. On the political satire TV show “Servant of the People,” Zelensky played a history teacher so outraged by government corruption that he runs for president — and stuns the country and himself by winning. Zelensky has said that his great-grandfather and three of his grandfather’s brothers died as a result of the Nazi invasion of Ukrainian territory. “I never speak about religion and I never speak about God because I have my own personal opinion about it,” he said in the interview. In a 2018 interview with a friend from the entertainment industry, he described scoring so high on an international English exam that he had an opportunity after high school to study in Israel. Most of his classmates took advantage of the option — he named one woman specifically who moved to Israel — but he did not, saying that his father prohibited him from moving. “I know Israel,” he said in the Times of Israel interview. Pogroms, or organized attacks against Jewish communities, originated in the Pale of Settlement and terrorized the Jews living there for generations. “Of course, I believe in God. But I speak with him only in those moments which are personal for me.” The broad strokes of Zelensky’s career have long been known to those who pay attention to Ukrainian politics — or to their spillover effects in American government.

"That's why if somebody wants to help us, everybody has to act swiftly," Zelensky added. Russia's actions on Tuesday mark a far less restrained bombing campaign, raising concerns that more civilians could be hit in strikes. Zelensky reiterated calls for the US and NATO to establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine or put boots on the ground. "And I've told them many times that Ukraine will resist and fight stronger than anyone else but on our own against Russia we won't manage it." There'll be other provocations there," he said. Everybody has to stop fighting and to go [back] to that point from where it began five, six days ago," Zelensky said. And, frankly, you know, everyone is drawn into the war now." They don't know our streets. Officials from the two countries met for the first time on Monday since Russia's invasion began last week.

Five vile things Trump did to Zelensky and Ukraine that you forgot about (unknown)

With the Russian invasion of Ukraine getting more horrific, Donald Trump and his allies are frantically erasing the truth about Trump's relations with ...

This was one of the things Trump pressured Zelensky to “investigate” while withholding military aid. Well before extorting Zelensky, Trump alarmed officials by freezing military aid to Ukraine that Congress had appropriated, but without meaningful policy justification. This came even as Zelensky pleaded for help against Russian aggression, which the world is now witnessing unfold in all its horror. The simplest way to illustrate this is by recalling five other things Trump did with regard to Zelensky and Ukraine: So Trump’s track record on Ukraine is about far more than his own personal corruption. It’s complete nonsense, and crucially, it echoed Russian propaganda that had a geopolitical purpose.

“In 1941 over 33,000 Ukrainian Jews were murdered in a 2 day span in the Babyn Yar ravine marking one of the deadliest massacres of the Holocaust,” Fox wrote, referring to the mass shooting — first reported by JTA — that was organized by Nazis but supported by local collaborators. “Thousands of years after our biblical patriarch Abraham’s poignant cry to God of ‘Hineni’ (‘Here I am’), the ultimate expression of responsibility, a Jewish president in the midst of war uttered a similar message: “Listen. I am here,’” Suissa wrote. Politics are emerging in some of the Zelensky valorization. That said, we should probably get Zelensky this @truahrabbis shirt,” wrote Sophie Ellan-Golan, the director of strategic communication at Jews for Racial & Economic Justice, a liberal Jewish activist group. Behind the feel-good sentiment of the memes lurks more complicated subtexts. We’re not hiding.’” 3 were murdered by the Nazis. Only 1 survived,” referring to his grandfather. And multiple memes ricocheted around the internet highlighting Zelensky as a powerful embodiment of Jewish pride. Jewish people fight back. “Jewish people are resilient. Because he is brave. “He is standing up to a dictator.
