    @JesusMagicPanties2 years ago I am from Poland. In my town there are many Ukrainian people living here now , especially women with kids. Absolutely nice and honest people. Perhaps sad and depressive - which is completely understandable. I love and respect Mr. President Zelensky. Slava Ukraini. ... 160

    @andreawallenberger26682 years ago (Amanpour herself has only just completed a 1 year long battle with ovarian cancer, returning to work in May I believe... ) Congrats and Thanks Christiane, for all you do: bringing facts, honesty and humanity to every story and every interview. 🥂👏❤️🌍 ... 186

    @akbeal2 years ago This is so incredible yesterday he was on the front lines and today in Washington. Time to contact my representatives again and tell them to help Ukraine as much as possible. Thank you for coming to visit and as an American so glad we could help you guys in Ukraine. Everyone here in my small town is talking about this today lots had hoped to visit Washington but we are pretty far away. Welcome to USA where you will see so many Ukrainian flags in every town it is beyond belief!! ... 277

    @genechaas73692 years ago My fellow Americans, PLEASE, PLEASE continue to follow thru with our massive aid to the people of Ukraine. They are a multi-ethnic, multi-religious nation of free people that wishes to remain so. LET FREEDOM REIGN! They must settle this on THEIR terms, for all free peoples everywhere. Nations that seek to be slave masters using terror tactics cannot be allowed to operate outside their own borders. ( and THANK YOU CNN and your incredible crew for keeping us informed! ) ... 57

    @elliottboomsluiter72142 years ago Zelensky is the real deal. This man is an inspiration to anyone who loves freedom. Churchill didn't have Hitler's men on the outskirts of Londen. Nor were the SS carrying a death list with his family and himself on top. Zelensky has faced down the world's most prolific killer, backed by what was apparently, the second most powerful army on the planet. Now they're an international running gag. And a spectacle of criminal inhumanity to compensate for their ineptitude.
    Whoever owns the train service that's still running between Poland and Kiev, bless them. Its a big risk every time.

    @duncanstewart63812 years ago 4 30 pm press availability was the thinking earlier. Then an evening address to the Congress at the Capitol. An F 22 air fighter escort with mid air refueling tankers seems appropriate. Given his destination in our country. 52

    @omidpourhossein2 years ago Putin visits a school in Moscow and speaks about patriotism and the great achievements of the Russian people. The children can then ask the President questions. Igor raises his hand. "I have two questions: 1. why did Russia attack Crimea? And 2. why does Russia want to occupy Ukraine?" "Good questions," Putin replies. At that moment, the bell rings and the children run out of the classroom. After the break, Putin resumes the conversation: "Do you have any further questions?" Sascha raises his hand: "My name is Sascha and I also have two questions: 1. Why did the bell ring 20 minutes earlier? And 2. where is Igor?"
    The world should know that the Islamic Republic sends drones and all kinds of weapons of mass destruction to Russia.

    @D._Eath2 years ago " I heard the bells one Christmas day
    Their old familiar carols play
    And wide and sweet, the words repeat
    Of 'peace on earth, good will to men' (good will to men)
    I thought as now this day had come
    The belfries of all Christendom
    Had rung so long, the unbroken song
    Of peace on Earth, good will to men
    (Peace on Earth, good will to men)
    And in despair I bowed my head
    "There is no peace on earth, " I said
    For hate is strong and mocks the song
    Of peace on Earth, good will to men (good will to men)
    Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
    'God is not dead nor doth He sleep'
    The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
    With peace on Earth, good will to men "
