Zelensky - He's suffering in the same terror and deprivation that the residents are forced to endure

Ukraine. Independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity. 

"That a relative outsider has come to lead that nation—and is willing to die for it—is perhaps the most stirring validation of the cause. ---

By staying put, Zelensky has erased this gap. There’s no airlift awaiting his fellow residents, so rather than accepting the perk of his position, he’s suffering in the same terror and deprivation that they are forced to endure. ---

But it is hard to think of another recent instance in which one human being has defied the collective expectations for his behavior and provided such an inspiring moment of service to the people, clarifying the terms of the fight through his example."

"Essentially, for me, this war is about the existence of nationhood in Ukraine, and that nationhood is based on a triangle. And that triangle is something that we thought would be respected ever since the end of World War Two, and that is independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity." (President Alexander Stubb, Finland)
