Pictures speak for themselves, what a man, what a hero. So much love for his people and country. If you could send him a song what would be your choice. Mine is 'Bridge over troubled water' by Simon and Garfunkle

Yesterday we went to a fab free music concert at a local church in aid of Ukraine. It looked liked us oldies were generous in our contributions. Whilst we were entertained hundreds of boxes of supplies were being finally packed up in the church basement, to be loaded onto a very large lorry, which was setting off for Poland during the night.

Nice to see Zelensky wearing a tea-shirt with Ukraine spelt the English way. Just wonder how much of the "parade" from the other lot will be shown LIVE on our BBC news, and Sky news on Monday the 9th of May?

BBC1 news at 10:30am on sunday morning showing how he started out as a comedian,and its a very good watch. Repeated several times over this weekend.

I doubt he’ll be flattered to know he’s a grans’ heartthrob! grin

An unlikely pinup. Who would have thought we find him attractive and mention it! Feeling it’s inappropriate given the tragic circumstances. sad

Not unlikely at all and why would it affect anyone. Harmless and complimentary to him.

I don’t suppose he’s a member of Gransnet, Grannynanny. grin

Namsnanny Fri 22-Apr-22 12:11:44

Seeing as he was a comic, and fond of spoofs, I do t suppose he will mind Grannynanny?

Oh no, apologies for posting it. I’m not normally so gullible.

I think they should give him the Nobel Peace Prize when this is all over.

President Zelensky and his wife in happier times. This clip of them singing together just popped up on Youtube and it’s lovely.

Ooh fantastic! One of my favourite songs too.

And now, as said above "Cometh the hour, cometh the man."

Good choice, Nanee49

On TikTok there are many supportive clips and this song is played on many. Beautiful voice and so melodic. Haunting as well.

This thread has made me smile. It's exactly like being with my mates...the topic starting off as one thing then quickly shooting off at tangents (what an attractive man PV is!) with side chats galore. Lovely.

Giant by rag'n'bone man would be my choice for him.

just found out that an interview with President Zelensky is being shown on the BBC news channel on saturday at 17:30pm. During parts of the interview he also speaks,
in what I consider good spoken English.

Allsorts Fri 15-Apr-22 06:38:45

He is a very brave and inspiring man, compassionate and strong.I knew nothing of the Ukrainian character but from what’s I’ve seen and heard he is a typical Ukrainian male. I can’t see how they can win the war against the obscene Russian
Military who have such weaponry , this has been planned for years and shows the Russian government the opposite of Ukraine one.

infoman Fri 15-Apr-22 05:14:04

In my ideal world I would to love hime to speak more English,
I know he can speak a fair amount of English,
although I don't know how conversant he is but that would really get up the nose of his neighbour,
as HIS command of the English language is very limited.
Then President Zelensky could have dual road signs in his country,like we do in Wales.

Frankly, I thought he was only in late 30s/early 40s

BlueSky Thu 14-Apr-22 20:57:17

Surprised he’s only 44, thought he would be in his 50s, the beard perhaps.

I wish someone would send Putin an arsenic flavoured Easter Egg ?
