Zelensky smiled when asked by Sky News whether Trump was trying to make him a “scapegoat” for problems including low ratings, high diesel prices and the war in the Middle East. Zelenskyy initially stayed silent, then said: “That is my answer.” #Ukraine

Been with my partner for more than 15 years. Society dictates its only from marriage, but that's nonsense as then we'd be just 8. Nobody gets married after 2 weeks anymore and some marriages don't last the 7 years we were dating. Ergo, anniversaries are pointless. As is marriage really?
