  1. He just wants peace and to spend time with his kids. I hope he gets what he wants, he gave Ukraine his all.

  2. I hope he can have many years retired and his soul is full of good karma. Slava Ukraini!

  3. Willingness to leave is exactly why he should stay in charge.  Those who crave power and control are often the worst leaders. 

  4. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have someone like him rather than the orange idiot we have?

  5. The future of his country is hanging on him. Just picture where would be Ukraine today if he decided to leave. I’m sure he is exhausted begging other countries to help and keep supporting his country. I wish our leaders would be as heroic as he is.

  6. When the war is over this man had best never buy a drink or dinner again. Slava Ukraine.

  7. Imagine how burnt out he must feel right now. Not surprised.

  8. May he never have to pay for a drink ever again.

    Most respected leader in my time.

  9. Not only has he earned a happy retirement after this war and what his government and people have accomplished, but he understands it is vital to make it clear to the world he is not looking to hold on to power which could threaten the stability of Ukrainian democracy.

    He will have served his role. Much like Churchill, though unlike him he appears to understand that a post-invasion Ukraine will require a new type of leader during peace time and will step aside willingly. This is true leadership

  10. He deserves a rest. I hope he can find peace with his family.

  11. I bet he is. Get them through this and enjoy your life as a world renown hero

  12. If he does, he will join the ranks of the truly elite, men who could have been king, but ceded power. He will stand amongst Washington and Mandela.

  13. This isn’t new, I remember something from a year ago. Dude wants to go to the beach and drink beer.

  14. I would be too. Thank you so much Mr. Zelensky. You have been a beacon of hope and sanity in this crazy world. May your pastures always be green (and free of landmines).

    To Volodimir! *Raises toast*

    #SLAVA UKRAINI

  15. I suspect he would probably LOVE to leave office after the war.

  16. Without the war his term would’ve ended last year. When he was elected he insisted he would only stay one term as he felt that’s what should be the norm in Ukraine. So having to be in his very difficult shoes for longer than the 5 years has to be an added difficulty when that was his original thinking.

  17. Job well done, my young friend. Slava Ukraini! (I believe)

  18. I was a millionaire I can say I would pay a heavenly vacation for this man and family

  19. Can’t blame him. He’s been a brilliant leader throughout (from my scottish eyes at least)

  20. Dude use to be a comedian, I bet he never wished for this kind of office but he certainly was the right person for it. Going from making people laugh to fighting tooth and nail in order to protect your nation’s very existence is a drastic change

    I hope he can find peace once Ukraine is free from threat

  21. He’s literally been saying this since the war broke out.

  22. He’s gunna have to dodge assassins for the rest of his life

  23. I mean this isn’t all that new in terms of news. Zelenskyy has said multiple times that he wasn’t too keen on postponing elections during the war and that he would gladly step down as soon as the war is over for elections to be properly held without Russian interference.

    He also noted he wouldn’t run for election himself once the war ends indicating he pretty much just wants the war over. He’s even said he would step down if a tangible and meaningful ceasefire is reached.

  24. The sort of man who is eager for power is not who you want governing. I imagine he’s ready for private life again.

  25. Yeah not shit. That man must be so fucking tired.

    I can only respect the man.

  26. How is this news? He said that multiple times in the past and it is pretty clear that he truly means it.
