She's a psychopath. Another actor like zelensky.
We should not be sending anything until our country gets fixed !!!
Ukrainian First Lady met with Jill ‘ Taco’ Biden and her useless husband over breakfast tacos and a side order of Covid on Tuesday morning at the White House.
Zelenskys wife flys to the US using death stories to secure weaponry and money to keep the killing and war going….That’s pitiful
The Zelesnky's will be remembered as war criminals along with Putin when this war is over. Sending innocent civilians to a war that can't be won is evil and not negotiating makes it even more evil.
It's very important to you to fight a proxy war, on behalf of the USA GOVERNMENT, against your own people
In the 1st gulf war they said Saddams troops were taking babieds out of incubators, never happened. It's always some war the American people are being talked into supporting. When do we call this out, and say no more? The governmetn always shoots down medicare for all, they say social security must be cut, we have record inflation and gas prices in some states. So, who's paying for this war? Where are they taking the money from, us. We're all getting fleeced and left with the bill.
Ukraine has to find a way to fight their own battles. This lady is delusional 🙄🤔
Good luck with Ukraine people 👁️🙏👁️
Ukrainian Nazis can take a hike.
The war in Ukraine does NOT have the support of the majority of American people. The United States is being invaded at our southern border and the Biden Administration is not protecting our own country‼️ Zelenskyy is delaying the inevitable and must begin peace negotiations and stop the carnage‼️ Russia has been joined by China, Iran, Turkey, Syria and several other countries, and WILL use nuclear weapons if necessary! Russia will win the The Donbas and South Ukraine. PRAY FOR PEACE and for the innocent people of Ukraine and the innocent people of Russia. ♥️ 🇺🇦 ♥️ 🇷🇺
I just hope helping theses crazy pple won’t back fire. Ukrainian Russian all the same. Very cruel culture. They are not exempted.
Why not Evacuate women and children from that city instead of doing interviews they can't fight anyway
is elena zelinska a president? where did she com from? who the heck is she?
where is the president of ukraine?
She is a lier she knows that money will go to her pocket she is a billionaire
Good interview. Slava Ukraine.
NBC news will give us the full documentary.
🇷🇺
No Nazis
*Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
ALSO: Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
We should not obsess over the precise boundaries and think of the ordinary people both Ukrainians and Russians who need to live as neighbors in the future far from where the first lady lives. Think how to give some land for peace in a way there can be cooperation in repairing all the damage caused by the warmakers in high places..
Zelenski's whole family so brave and it's thankfully rubbing off on all Ukrainians!!!
Who cares? Her husband is a zionist jew who is colluding with a bunch of Nazis!!!
Russia is preparing for a massive offensive to end this war once and for all, they will do it in the next 30 days – military observer, retired US Army Colonel Douglas McGregor
Zelensky is actually the leader now. He has an army there – nationalists who are trying to control what is left. But the truth is that the Ukrainian troops have failed – they cannot regain what they have lost. The bulk of the Russian army has been withdrawn. They've been resting and recovering for the past few weeks. They are preparing for a massive offensive to end this war once and for all. I think it's time to end this all that the Russians will do – within 30 days.
Nobody in Europe wants war with the Russians. Most of the armed forces of these countries are purely symbolic. Scenery! They haven't fought in decades. And they are definitely not ready to take the blow of the Russians. The Russian army only seemed inept, but now we see that for 150 days there has been a continuous struggle with the Ukrainian troops and their literal destruction.
So no one wants to have anything to do with this war, the Europeans are not ready to fight. I think they were following Biden's injunction that Putin's resignation should be hastened and that would cause disaster in Russia. And they believed it. Now we've got a lesson. Russia has plenty of resources, perhaps the most resource-rich country, and is not going to back down. And Putin's popularity ratings are going through the roof. After all, he defended Russia.
This never would have happened with Trump all of these people the children would still be alive
It's going to get tougher madam first lady, I wish I thought otherwise but I do not. Russia will lose eventually, this Russia can not compete but it may take a while. I sincerely want my country to do much more to help Ukraine eject the Russian's from your land, the stated goal of the current administration is to simply weaken Russia and I believe this is a huge mistake. Russia needs to lose in Ukraine in the most humiliating way possible and this needs to happen NOW!
Olena Zelenska is such a great representative of her country. Both sensitive and courageous at the same time.
Where are the peace efforts? Begging money to prolong a lost war and more lost lives? So many Ukranian government officials supporting Russia? She and her husband are heartless beggars!
Did the General mention that Ukraine is making the US pay for every inch of territory they lose??
Russia, Ukraine, US, Nato should mutual respect each others. No one can win this war except more and more loss and deaths. Do not say of think: "i am stronger, and i am the winner". Please cooler down and accept the situation, stop now and give chance for the soldiers to go home to see their kids.
Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

Terminator Elena. Give her nuclear weapon, Himmars for her son and clean bulletproof vest for her husband to protect little girl in the stroller, killed by Ukrainian anti aircraft missile debris.
And don’t forget lingerie panties- a dream of all Ukrainian women.
Is she one of the girls in Hunter Biden's video?
as a democrat very disappointeded about the hosting of this person . Powerfull remarks ..how so ? Where is the critical journalism? Are we now suddenly glorifying a country that was always know to be corrupt,ultra nationalistic and very disfunctional ? Who is really in charge in Ukraine ? Back with Iraq I believed media reports but not any longer, it is more showbizz than anything else .Shallow and with plenty drama . Whilebeing based here in europe it is clear to me that this proxy civil war is misunderstood by the west. Unfortunately several NATO countries ,lead by the US helped laying the foundation for the civil war and the following direct Ukrainian russian conflict . not a fan of Russia but we have acknowledge the full context and circumstances which in the main stream media is completely left out. The US and NATO need to stop supporting this conflict and instead demand negotiations and peace. Have we not learned anything ?
Ukraine’s 1st lady is very attractive 🥰
It's Putin's fault gas is 5 to $7 and food prices doubled and the and somehow it's Putin's fault says Biden. Gas and food was going through the roof the day Biden attacked AMERICAN Oil so we would have to buy Solar panels from China to keep hunters sneaky energy deal with China going because if they don't go through with what he did the Chinese will let out Hunter Biden's truth and treason.
Ukraine will be a 3rd world country and in debt forever. 🤡 government just selling weapons
40 billions later and that pathetic country is still losing.
Hey MSNBC, you know no one believes you any more, right?
What’s you prepared for the security of evacuation?
How’s you leaving the children and family doing for the human shelter and moan please?
It’s paradoxically for me when you need more money and weapons support?
Where’s the money gone? It’s never ending with your needs mount of money for destroying your family?
Keep stay courageous and strong Ukraine!
Volodymyr Zelensky is sending his wife the first lady to entertain and satisfy all the American politicians who are womanizers' with BJ. Once they are satisfy they will provide with all the required weapons. These are normal in TV show business and both have plenty of experience to do such things to achieve their goals
The "entire world" to them is only Europe USA CANADA And Australia, All white supremacist nations
The best thing for us to.do is to jail Putin under international court confiscate his wealth and. wipe out Russia from the world map changing it into Ukraine and place Zelensky in Moscow or Kremlin to rule both the Russians and Ukrainians. Russias wealth alone is not enough to pay off the brutal killings and damages Putin has done to Ukraine.
Stop the war! Please💔
