Rising Tension Between The West and Zelensky.

Zelensky said in a press conference: I don’t really understand these words and hadiths. We have always been grateful and always will be. I just don’t know how else to appreciate it. For example, we can wake up in the morning and thank the minister. Ask him to write me a letter and tell me the way and method of gratitude and I will be grateful in the same way!
