And I am horrified to have that childhood refrain of the world banding together against bad guys taken away. The noted conservative economist delivers arguments both fiscal and political against social justice initiatives such as welfare and a federal minimum wage. I loved the book. I hope and pray that things go well for Zelensky and his beautiful country and I hope they come out of this with their freedom intact.

A Message from Ukraine: President Zelensky publishes ‘battle

Ukraine’s president gathers 16 recent speeches, defiant and stirring, to rally the world to his embattled nation’s cause. According to the book's prologue, by Economist Russia editor Arkady Ostrovsky, those brief words were a turning point in the war. "There were rumours – spread by Russian officials – that Zelensky had left the country and that his government had collapsed," Ostrosvsky writes. "This half-minute video proved otherwise." But having had the dubious privilege of listening to many world leaders' speeches as a Telegraph foreign correspondent, I can say one thing about this collection that I can say about very few others. Namely, that I read every single one of them without nodding off. Besides music, literature, and film, Ukraine has given the world other distinctive cultural contributions. The country is known for its tradition of intricately painted eggs, called писанки́ ( pysanky) , as well its colorful вишива́нка ( vyshyvanka ) embroidery . In a modern twist, traditional-style Ukrainian pottery is being sold as NFTs (non-fungible tokens) in exchange for cryptocurrency. The Ukrainian languageWith some of the most skilled software developers in the world , Ukraine has also attracted tech industry giants such as Apple, Microsoft, Skype, and Oracle. These and many other Fortune 500 companies have established research and development facilities in Ukraine. World leaders take note: when crafting a truly inspiring speech, nothing focuses the mind like a Russian missile with your name on it. This wisdom comes courtesy of a new book of speeches by Volodymyr Zelensky, the Churchill-in-a-teeshirt whose finest hour seems never-ending. An excellent read, which I highly recommend. There is a lot of power behind each word spoken by Zelensky, and that is his ability to connect with people and his unflinching honesty. He pulls events from the past and tells the readers how they are relevant today. He has a brilliant way of connecting themes and criticizing the corruption in our world. He strives to give each person a voice, and reading this, I could tell how much he loved Ukraine and what this country represented. He cared deeply for his people, and he brought to their attention several things that needed to be changed. These speeches paint a picture that shows the complexities of war and the people who lose themselves and others along the way.

i had the humbling opportunity to volunteer in ukraine for three months last summer, doing humanitarian aide and helping out the war effort. it was one of the most difficult, yet rewarding, experiences of my entire life. and this little book does a great job at describing so much of what i love about the ukrainian people. It is the story of a nation valiantly defending itself from Russian aggression. And it is the story of a people leading the world in the struggle for democracy.

He says because we can’t. Because Russia has Nuclear weapons, we can’t go to war with them. What are they supposed to do if nukes come into the picture, he asks? I have no argument against this. He is right, we can’t go to war Russia. The war must remain…. Cold.

The sense of moral purpose increases as the speeches unfold because the underlying strategic objective changes. When he speaks to the Ukrainian parliament in May 2019, Zelenskiy’s aim is to finish the war through dialogue. By the time of his Independence Day speech in August 2022, the ambition is greater: victory rather than peace. I’ve probably read as much about this conflict and Russian and Ukrainian history as any regular person in the States and felt like nothing in this work was repetitive. It’s essential reading. Philip Collins was a speechwriter for Tony Blair and is the founder and writer-in-chief of the speechwriting company the Draft ( thedraftwriters.com) The book has a beautiful preface by Arkady Ostrovsky, in which he talks about the 'We're here' speech, about his experience while meeting Zelensky, and offers his thoughts on the war and the current situation. And needless to say, it is longer than any Zelensky speech in the book 😊 But it is a beautiful, insightful preface. The book also has a beautiful introduction by the man himself, President Zelensky. so for this year, i wish ukraine a swift victory and many more years of freedom to come. слава україні! 💙💛An insider’s account of the rampant misconduct within the Trump administration, including the tumult surrounding the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021.
