The rise of Zelensky. Ukraine & World's Future
The soviet union collapsed in 1991.
Ukraine became the third-largest nuclear power on Earth after US & Russia.
In 1996, Ukraine handed over 3000 nuclear weapons to Russia in exchange for a guarantee never to be threatened or invaded. Promises were also made to Russia that NATO would not expand towards Russian borders.
In 2004, More countries joined NATO. Some more in 2007
The Russian govt feared that Ukraine's membership of the EU and NATO would complete a western wall of allied countries' and on another side Japan & Korea (Allies of the US)
These are a few things from Russia's POV 👆
The rise of President Zelensky 🚀
Recently, we've all been seeing this person everywhere.
Let me you tell his story ❤️
Volodymyr Zelensky is a former actor and a comedian.
He has a law degree but he was more passionate about theatre, comedy, acting and storytelling.
In 2003, he co-founded Studio Kvartal 95 which became one of the successful studios in the country.
Between 1997 to 2012, he starred in various movies & TV shows.
In 2015, He became the star for the TV series "Servant of the people"
Guess what?
He plays the role of the President of Ukraine 🚀
Back in 2012, He made a joint production with Ukrainian network 1+1 owned by Billionaire Ihor Kolomoisky.
In 2018, He said enough is enough.
March 2018, The political party "Servant of the People" was created by Kvartal 95 (His television team)
When he stood for the election, everyone thought it was a joke.
If he wins he'll end up becoming the billionaire's puppet.
But he proved them all wrong 🙌
He was already a star and had a huge social media following.
He won the election by a landslide - 73% 🚀
After he was sworn in as president, he took some politically necessary steps and also promised that no special favours will be given to his business partner Kolomoisky.
Fast forward to Feb 2022.
Russia invades Ukraine on a large scale.
Zelensky could have escaped but he goes "I don't need a ride, I need ammunition"
He is one of the prime examples of a creator and artist becoming a leader when the country needs him the most.
Back to the UNSC, this happened 👇
The world is standing with Ukraine.
The most interesting thing was this help from Taiwan 👇
This is what I'm most scared of 👇
But China has taken a neutral stance on the situation... so that's a breather.
Finally, here are some end scenarios for Ukraine.
What do you think will happen next? Will Putin give up? Will China risk SWIFT and back Russia and then invade Taiwan? Will WW3 happen? hopefully not.

The Hell Exploration and Intelligence Agency, better know as the H.E.I.A. is an official branch of the United States Government, founded in 1903 by U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt only months after the discovery of Hell (known as Gehenna or Inferno in select circles).
The Agency does as the name implies, and focuses mainly on learning and archiving the history, geography and resources of Hell.
The agency and church experienced the biggest gain of support in the 50s and 60s.

Personal words 🚨
I hate myself for simplifying such a huge and complex topic. But I realised that I learned so much from researching and going through 100s of blogs, reddit pages, Tweets, etc.
I dedicated the entire day to this loop ❤️
In This Together,
