War in Ukraine: Olena Zelenska's moving response to the crisis

Zelenska posted a slideshow of images to her feed highlighting that there are two million more women than men in Ukraine and that this takes on a ‘new meaning’ following Russia’s invasion. She wrote in the caption:

This means our current resistance has a particularly female face.

The female face of the resistance

The images show a series of women on the frontline, including those in the army and medics, and those caring for children in bomb shelters. She added:

To those who fight in the ranks of zsu, and those who have signed up for teroboronu. Those who heal, save, feed. To the volunteers who find everything necessary for it. And those who continue to do their usual jobs - in pharmacies, shops, on transport, in utilities, so that life lasts and wins.

To those who take children to shelters every day without panic and entertain them with games and cartoons to save children’s consciousness from war. To those who give birth in bomb shelters. Today is the first day of spring. Remember how we all celebrated each other on this day before the war (again that scary phrase)?

So the sun is visible through the smoke of the shelling. Everything will be spring, everything will be victory, everything will be Ukraine 🇺🇦.

Tell the truth

On Sunday, Zelenska made an emotional plea begging international media to share the ‘terrible truth’ of how Russian forces are brutally murdering children. She posted photos of five children killed in the Russian attacks, writing:

I appeal to all the unbiased media in the world! Tell this terrible truth: Russian invaders are killing Ukrainian children.
