Before And After Photos Of Zelenskyy Show The Toll The War Has Taken On Him Over 41 Days

Before And After Photos Of Zelenskyy Show The Toll The War Has Taken On Him Over 41 Days

The start of the Ukrainian invasion by Russia was a little over a month ago. The invasion continues as the nation calls for help.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently visited Bucha, a suburb of Kyiv. Photos were taken of Zelenskyy by his office as he viewed the destruction and death in the town.


When compared to photos taken just before the war, the difference in the 44-year-old Ukrainian leader is striking.

The tweet above compared two photos taken by the Ukrainian presidential office. The first image showed Zelenskyy the day before the invasion, clean cut and addressing his nation in a suit.

The second image showed Zelenskyy in Bucha, 41 days later. He’s wearing an army jacket and bulletproof vest and his beard has grown out. Stress lines are etched into his face and bags under his eyes show the concern and worry for his nation.

It’s a depressing transformation to see.


Zelenskyy was visiting Bucha after a Russian attack on civilians.

The President accused Russia of committing war crimes and called for more pressure over their actions.

He told reporters:

“It's very difficult to talk. It's very difficult to negotiate when you see what they did here.”
“Every day we find people in barrels, cellars and everywhere else, some strangled, some clearly tortured.”

Zelenskyy has the unbearable stress of leadership under untenable conditions.

Studies have suggested the pressure from leadership physically ages people.

Many notice Presidents have grayer hair leaving office than when they went in.

Either way, the harrowing look on Zelenskyy’s face as his nation is attacked by a world superpower shows the pain and stress of leading a nation.

'Based On A True Story' Movies That Aren't True At All

The entertainment industry has long been criticized for their creative license when it comes to retelling history or anything "based on a true story."

Going back to the silent film era and D.W. Griffith's ridiculously inaccurate White supremacist propaganda Birth Of A Nation to Mel Gibson's Braveheart to Disney's Pocahontas, some films go way beyond creative license and careen into total malarkey.

Musk's AI Chatbot Throws Republicans Under The Bus After Being Asked About Economy

Grok, billionaire Elon Musk's very own chatbot, threw Republicans under the bus after software engineer Alex Coke asked it if Democrats or Republicans have been better for the economy in the past 30 years, only for it to answer that yes, in fact, Democrats are the winners when it comes to economic policy.

Economic policy is certainly on everyone's minds these days. A new CNN poll conducted by SSRS shows that Americans are not pleased with President Donald Trump’s management of the economy, leaving him with unfavorable ratings on what is considered the nation’s most important issue.

CNN Airs Brutal Reminder Of Trump's Previous Economic Predictions—And They Did Not Age Well

CNN came with the receipts, airing a supercut of clips from 2020 and 2024 of President Donald Trump making hilariously wrong economic predictions—a damning reel of evidence as financial markets decline and investor concerns grow over Trump’s trade policies.

In fact, Trump’s escalating trade war pushed the S&P 500 more than 10% below its record high set just last month. A drop of this size is significant enough that professional investors call it a “correction,” and the S&P 500’s 1.4% decline on Thursday marked its first since 2023.
