I held desperate hopes that Zelenskyy would refuse to give Putin what he wanted.
I couldn't imagine that he would, but I also knew the pressures he was going to face today.
And he stood up to them. He gave them nothing. In the face of their puerile, incandescent, narcissistic rage, he gave them nothing.
My respect for that man grew to extravagant proportions today.
#SlavaUkraini, President #Zelenskyy.
