Zelenskiy was speaking via video link to the editor-in-chief of Reuters, Alessandra Galloni, at the Reuters NEXT conference. She asked him for an example of something that has made him laugh amid conflict.
He said it is “always funny” when he is with his wife, children and dogs.
“Sometimes I am thinking, looking at all these wars, looking at all the crises… and think that the best way (would be) if this planet will be the planet of dogs,” he said.
(Reuters) – Apart from a detailed peace plan to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has a less conventional idea for ending geopolitical crises like these: let dogs run the world.
In the rare downtime he gets as a wartime leader, Zelenskiy, speaking to Reuters by video link on Wednesday, suggested man’s best friend might fare better when it comes to getting along on the global stage.
“Sometimes I’m … looking at all these wars or looking at all the crisis, Middle East crisis. It’s not only Ukraine, everywhere in Africa and the Middle East.
A Heartrending Scene: A Poor Dog Trapped Deep in a Hole, Desperately Pleading for Help
“In the vast tapestry of life, there are stories that touch our hearts and remind us of the enduring power of compassion and rescue. This is the heartwarming story of a lonely puppy, found alone in a deep ditch, crying out for help—a tale that underscores the profound impact that human kindness can have on the lives of the most vulnerable beings.
The story unfolds in a quiet, rural setting, where nature and solitude intertwine. On a serene afternoon, the cries of a puppy broke the stillness, echoing from the depths of a deep ditch by the side of the road. These plaintive pleas for help reached the ears of a passing motorist, who couldn’t ignore the call of a soul in need.
As the rescuer approached the ditch, they were met with a heart-wrenching sight—a tiny, shivering pup, barely a few weeks old, trembling with fear and loneliness. It was clear that this vulnerable being had been abandoned and left to fend for itself in this unforgiving world.
Without hesitation, the rescuer extended a hand of hope and love. They gently lifted the puppy from the depths of the ditch, cradling it close to their heart. The puppy’s cries of despair soon turned into whimpers of relief, as if it knew it had found a guardian angel.
The journey to healing and recovery had begun. The puppy’s cries for love and attention were met with a shower of affection, as if it knew it had found an everlasting source of warmth and security. Gradually, but surely, the puppy’s fear began to recede, replaced by the blossoming of trust and companionship.
Days turned into weeks, and the once-lonely puppy was transformed. It learned to play, to wag its tail in joy, and to offer unconditional love in return for the love it had received. The puppy’s cries of desperation had been replaced by the song of happiness and the enduring power of human kindness.
Today, the once-lonely puppy is a vibrant, happy, and thriving dog, a living embodiment of the boundless potential for transformation and the enduring strength of the human-animal bond. This heartwarming tale inspires us all to heed the call of those in need, for in our acts of rescue and compassion, we have the power to save and transform lives, offering love and a second chance to the most vulnerable among us.”
