Why Ukraine's Future Relies on Effective Leaders

In the face of Russian aggression, people are questioning whether Ukraine can ever truly stand up to Vladimir Putin. Some argue that Ukraine can't win, just like Hitler shouldn't have been appeased at Munich. They suggest offering Putin a deal, but history tells a different story. Remember Georgia and Chechnya?

Each A-lister arrives with an assistant to manage their looks and make sure photographers recognize them. Actresses perfect their poses, fake smiles, and fluffed hair for brief moments in front of the camera. The effort put into these moments is staggering, involving hours of make-up and preparation.
