yes yes #Zelenskyy stayed in Kyiv during the siege and has visited the front lines multiple times, but did you know he's also brave enough to pet a cat's belly while he talks to world leaders? #Caturday (#Photoshopped, hopefully that's obvious.) (By me.)
Original image of #Zelenskyy is from October 11, credit: Office of the President. See previous post for alt-text, minus the cats.
@KevinLikesMaps He's can't be a proper president. Where's his Diet Coke button!
@Lorry you jest but he's been specifically asked if he has a button for someone to bring him coffee (he likes black coffee) and he said no, he gets up, opens the door to his office and requests one (from the receptionist, presumably)
@KevinLikesMaps Aw man I wanted that so much to be so
People liked my photoshop of #Zelenskyy with #cats so why not Zelenskyy with giraffes and an elephant. He does actually like them, proof in next post.
in 2012 #Zelenskyy starred in a movie called 8 First Dates in which he played a veterinarian. In one scene (spoiler!) he comforts a depressed #elephant and wins the heart of a girl. (Note: there were two more movies in the series.)
Alright, I can't find it now but the scene was his idea: he wanted to impress a woman, but not with feats of strength or other stereotypically masculine gestures. Instead he chose to be sweet to an elephant, which says a lot about his character. As far as giraffes: He has seven favorites on his official Flickr account, 5 of which are what you'd expect from the Ukrainian president, and 2 are ... inexplicably... giraffes. https://www.flickr.com/photos/president_of_ukraine/favorites

It's probably his only genuinely watchable movie (the Servant of the People TV series is good too). You can see it on YouTube (Serbian subtitles, but they translate well to English). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ku179YGBl0g

*Some* cats’ bellies may be scratched. They like it.

But more often than not, that’s putting one’s hand into the bear trap.

And yes, he’s a brave man. The right leader in the right place at the right time. Ukraine was fortunate to have elected him.
