Translation:

I just spoke with President Macron, with Emmanuel. We communicate very often, about once a day, I’d say. On average, really, our countries have very close relations. He provides a lot of help, and I’m grateful to him for that. After our conversation, I’ll call him back.

With all this shit going on, I'm happy to see him smile.

First, you could see from his body language that he was worried to have to delay his call (could have been a critical information), hopping it would not upset Macron, then the relief and big smile when Emmanuel told probably "Yes, sure buddy. take your time"

I have a lot of respect for Zelenskyy because you need resilience to handle the crazy pressure and responsibility he encounter everyday.

I really hope he will survive this mess, not killed by a FSB or CIA agent/coup.

this is the first time I've seen someone consider the possibility that instead of Zelenskyy being the CIA agent, he could be the one being killed by one.

with the direction America is going, I wouldn't be surprised if the CIA turns into a Kremlin enclave

What a difference in attitude and mood compared to the bullying in the clowns office in Washington.

We really gotta keep an eye on Ukraine during all this new chaos my country's thrown them in. World wars tend to work out very poorly for them.

Ukraine has always been a rough neighborhood. Constant waves of steppe people's raiding and slaving. Dickbag euro princes trying out proto colonialism, and whatever Mediterranean powers that happen to hold sway there in the wings ready to wring out every kopek. Then the 20th century happened. Oofta

So funny the way he ends the call with "okay great, great, okay bye bye", like he's talking to an aunt or something lol
