Mayor Ivan Fedorov was seized by Russian troops and held for several days before being freed under circumstances not yet clear. “I am ready to execute any of your commands to make victory day closer,” he told President Zelenskyy over the phone.» Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

Be nice if a person could say something good about Biden, never going to happen. Trolls get over it Trumps gone.
Wonderful news that this Mayor has been freed.
Zelenskyy a true leader. Canada loves Ukraine and all it’s brave people. ☮❤❤❤
Especially Alberta.
@Ken White Hmm. Not sure what you mean by that. Only thing I can think of is there are a lot of Ukrainian people here on the prairies. As someone who lives in Saskatchewan, I can tell you that SK supports Ukraine.
Zelensky is a little girl
Rússia crush ukraine
This guy is the biggest snake oil sales man of the century. He is product if a coup and lead his country in to its current situation. A real leader would have e prevention and not picked a fight with his neighbor and drag others in to the mess.
He has and will cause more problems for America than the Middle East countries
Thanks god he is rescue god bless Ukraine
Is not Zelensky responsible for the fact that guy was taken ?? Zelensky days are counted, will be remembered as the most infamous criminal in Ukraine history for destroying the whole country. Zelensky criminal!
Just from this excerpt, you can tell how much Pres Zelenskyy and this brave mayor care for each other and fellow Ukrainians, and how resolute they are to defend their homeland.
Putin could never draw genuine laughs and reactions like this during his ice-cold, stiff, confrontational security council meetings.
I know! I just saw another one from today, it was where Zelensky was visiting people in a hospital, and he was talking to this girl, she seemed very young, like a teenager, and she said to him that he was all over TikTok, that everything on TikTok was about him, and he goes, ‘So, we’ve occupied TikTock?”. It was so funny.
You are brilliant and fantastic good luck to you also your lovely
If I was a woman, I would love him, but his wife is very lucky to have him…
I know. Women all over the world now have a crush on this man. And I’ve heard that other men are saying what you were saying. Gosh, I wish there were more men like this. He’s such an alpha male.
You are tha man Zalenskky
Bless
I want to Apologize to you, I can’t help your people and although I don’t want another World War, I wish Nato was Intelligent and stop putin (yes with lower case letters). I feel guilty and I can only pray for you. I am very sorry.
HIPOCRATS OF NBC NEWS – YOU ATTACKED TRUMP 24/7 FOR THINGS THAT HE NEVER DID AND INTERFERED WITH THE GREAT THINGS HE WAS DOING FOR ALL OF US. YOU INSTEAD SUPPORTED, ENDORSED AND PROTECTED FOR MONEY THE WORST BADGE OF DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS EVER SEEN AND OUR MORON PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN WHO DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO HANDLE ANYTHING AS HE HAS NO PLANS FOR ANYTHING. NOW TAKE A LOOK AT OUR COUNTRY…. CRIME UP, GAS PRICES ROARING, ILLEGALS POURING INTO OUR COUNTRY WITHOUT CONTROL, INFLATION UP, BUILDING MATERIALS UP, JUDGES NOT WANTING TO JAIL CRIMINALS UP… AND SO ON… NOW YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT WAR AND OTHER PROBLEMS HAPPENING IN AMERICA THANKS TO THE PARTY THAT YOU SUPPORTED AND PROTECTED?????? HIPOCRATS, MORONS, DUMBHEADS… THIS IS WHAT YOU SUPPORTED AND YOU ARE NOW IN HEAVEN SEEING AND ENJOYING THE DESTRUCTION AND DEATH OF MANY IN UKRAINE. YOU ARE TRYING NOW TO MAKE US BELIEVE THAT YOU CARE FOR THESE PEOPLE AMONG OTHER THINGS THAT YOU ATTACKED??? HIPOCRATS!!!!!……………………………………………… YOU ARE A DISGRACE FOR THIS COUNTRY FOR ALL YOUR DIVISION NEWS TOWARDS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND FOR HELPING APPOINT HATERS WHO DO NOT LIKE OUR BELOVED COUNTRY. GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!
This is the correct way for a Countries leader to speak and be treated with, and to treat others in importantance and respectful manners. Thank him for giving such a great example for us here in USA, not only the President’s actions words and determination, but the leading officials are standing strong fighting for self preservation of their own Country. We can learn great patrism from these individuals. What happened at Capital on Jan 6th, was a true threat against other citizens and our legal officials, not patrism.
TY GOD for the freedom of one of the mayor’s of Ukraine city. I heard there was one more, I pray he’s ok, but I don’t think they have heard from him yet.
Awesome.. best news here in a while about this war.. but how did he get free
Intense behind the scenes negotiation? Maybe Ukraine has a good intelligence agency? Positive news, good results…
Respect and pray for Ukraine,, putin must be poisoned by his own people before they led them to nuclear war,, god bless 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Praying for the freedom and safety of all Ukraine.
💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦💙💛
Congratulation to you Presdent Zelenzky…god be with you..
If want to know about Putin’s meteoric rise from a single-party authoritarian regime to a personalised dictator:
https://youtu.be/Xvok8iM67XU
ZELENDSKY is looking for ww3 I pray Biden don’t fall for it. Zelendsky is blowing up alot of them places lying on Russia Just to get the US involved
So happy he is free was so worried about him
If I’m a leader i will not allowed a civilian to stay there city’s there not a soldier. That’s war is not a joke..soldier to soldier if there’s a civilian maybe becomes a human shields hehe….peace
Congrats Mr President you are the Man.
This man right here is not a hero
How is the man that left his country burn to the ground and hundreds of thousands of people die considered a hero with all he had to do is sign a document saying he would remain neutral and not try to join NATO. How does that make him a hero
Love love this president❤️❤️❤️❤️keeping you and your family in my prayers
I think President Zelensky needs to stay off the phone as much as possible. His location can be tracked. Thank God his Mayor was released but that could be a setup to track his location. He is a awesome President and I fear for his safety. We are praying for him and his citizens.
Just my opinion and military experience that Russians technology is down to a potato for Tech cause all they are using are dumb bombs that are indiscriminate and they have already foiled many attempts on his life.
@Semper Fi I think he already decided that it is more important for the morale of his people that they know he has not left the capital, that he has not left them alone. Kind of like king George in England refusing to leave London during the blitz. Keep calm and carry on?
what a HUGE difference between President Zleensky that cares for the soldiers than the worthless and babies assasing bladimieer PUTIN. he have no compassion for no one. Get rid of him!!
Человеческий разговор двух настоящих ГЕРОЕВ УКРАИНЫ!!!Храни Вас Бог! Храни Бог Украину! Все честные люди ,разных стран и вероисповеданий молятся за Украину,а Вы сражаетесь за нее! Слава Героям Украины!!!🇺🇦🇺🇲💙💛💜🎗✌
That dude is ROCK HARD SOLID! GOD BLESS🇺🇦
Prayers answered! A true President. Never gave up.
A lucky country having him for President.
Once again, Kudos to Ukraine.
Imagine that, even in War this man is paying attention to his leaders, paying attention to his troops, literally going to every country pleading his case all at the same time while his young family are still in a Warzone. He is the sole reason people got so motivated and inspired to fight. I have never in my life seen such leadership no wonder the mayor simply said “I will be ready execute all your orders”. When I lived in the US and was at army officer training I was taught one very important thing “Lead by example not by fear and you will command loyalty” This man exemplifies that.
A good leader will lead by assertiveness not by fear.
Good men
Real man 👍great President of Ukrainian 👍👍👍
The whole world is with you and is praying for all the victims of Putin. Its wrong to be around someone doing something so evil and not doing the right thing and stopping this if it is in your reach. I pray for that person to see this . They would go down in history as a hero of the hole world.
Amazing leadership and still a comedian at the end of the day. How can you not admire this man! 🇺🇦
I’m not sure, but I think that being a comedian is an honorific position. Satire and speaking truth to power without fear is the heart of true comedy. In Shakespeare’s plays, the jester is usually a deceptively important role. Maybe that is the root of zelensky’s comedy?
I pray the person that is in reach of stopping this war . They would go in the history books for being the Hero that stopped the end.
You and your beautiful country have taught the World to Love again 💖
😍
This president is on off the kind 🧑✈️
God bless President Zelenskyy
This man said “Gimme 48 hours and I got you, boss” 😭 🇺🇦 is something else
Thank you President Zelenskyy Thank goodness..
He is a true leader and who care. You are the man Mr Zelenskyy
May the Queen of Peace be your Shield
Comedian hero…
I cant wait till he gets canceled for calling him a man… no man shamming!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Zelensky is loving the limelight, while his constituents are DYING. This isn’t a movie, or the Oscars. I wish he would have put as much effort into negotiating as he does into his YouTube video’s, tweets, and photo ops.
how is thanking your soldiers and begging the west for aid “loving the limelight”??
Зеленский, нацист- наркоман! Которым руководит НАТО! ВОЕННЫЙ ПРЕСТУПНИК,!
Ukrainiane
Zelenskiy is so wonderful. He cares so much about his people. So grateful he was president when this happened. Slava Ukraini !
They are both heroes. I am proud to be 🇺🇦.
You just cannot compare Zelensky and Putin. Even though his country is being bombarded he is still so calm and sweet. While Putin speaks so vengefully.
I know. You can really tell what kind of people they are, I think, from their tone. It was like their speeches the night before the war started….Putin’s was horrible, just pure anger, name-calling, etc., and Zelensky’s was a last-moment plea, really, to not have this war; he even spoke directly to Russian people (not that they’d allow that on Russian state tv) and pleaded with them to try and get their president to listen to him.
We love you, stand up strong, all the communists country trying to win the freedom, bloody to getting the freedom, we love and God bless Ukrainian
That’s how you respect your people when you are president. Respect with love and equal human beings.
Unlike this guy, Putin.
Treat his citizens and soldiers like objects.
We love you, you’re super hero to the global, god will blessing Ukrainians
ooooops…for a second i thought he was talking about Biden!
Guess not!🤣🤣🤣
Te amamos todo el mundo y Jesús esta contigo Presidente
Smiling while millions are dying? Give em another Oscar
Yay… oh my goodness. So glad to see this. I tried to stay away from the news today because it has been so depressing seeing innocent people get killed.
He is very good leader because he loves and care his own peoples ,we in USA love him too.
A good actor. So sad! You use your all time on making video. You are so happy when you do not stop war.
A hero my d! Get this Nazi out of here!!
A real president!
Zelensky is an actor. That’s all
Roman Jesuit Hollywood actor playing his part Roman Catholic social doctrines full of Satan serpent doctrines the Pope the unholy father of lies deception spiritualism witchcraft sorcery magic so she will disappear very soon
The only way we can stope the war by giving the Russians a bloody nose. Direct engagement. Don’t be afraid of nuclear blackmail. It’s Ukraine today who will be tomorrow?
Hahahahahaha look his face Comedian 😃😃
I am glad the mayor was released, however as a American ; I realized Putin would drag our people through the streets if we didn’t have a strong military.
I am so happy to hear they got him out!!!!! 🎉
Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ for saving and sparing the life of this leader may he forever thankyou and praise you all the days of his life.Thankyou Jesus and Mary for sparing the life of this man.One of the Mayor’s of Ukraine.Pray for the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.March 25th,2022..
It must be done in the manner that our Lady Requested in Fatima Portugal Spain.1917.
God bless Zelensky 🙏
👏👏👏👏🤝👍👌💪🤴💪💖💖💖☝☝☝🙏🤲🤲🤲🤲
Staged for the Cameras and fools in the West
When a mid east country was invaded THE RULERS AND THE RULING FAMILY WERE THE FIRST TO FLEE.
The most corrupt government in Europe the fake media turn him into a hero

Seeing president Zelensky fighting for his country says what a caring devoted he is in defending it, he’s a brave hero not giving up and finding time to go see patients as well. May God bless and protect him and Ukraine people.
what is the situation in melitopol now? Can they remove the russian installed mayor Galina Danilchenko?
One of the few times we see joy on his face.
Its very easy to pull wool over peoples eyes now days
