Volodymyr Zelensky's one-word tweet says what Ukraine's fight is about

It's one of those rare instances where a word is worth a thousand pictures.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has tweeted 'Freedom' while taking part in the one-word tweet trend that has captured the imagination of organisations and celebrities.

Participants across the world, by some unwritten understanding, tweet the one word that most signifies what they are about, or what is uppermost in their mind.


'Freedom': Zelensky tweeted on Friday, signifying what his country's gritty resistance against Russia's military action over the last more than 190 days was all about.

'Glory to Ukraine', shouted back his compatriots on Twitter, while many other users from other parts of the world backed his sentiment.

The official Twitter account of Ukraine tweeted 'Victory' signifying that the country will fight to defeat the Russians despite the huge toll in lives and property it took over the last few months.

US President, rather predictably, stuck to 'Democracy' , the leitmotif in both the domestic and foreign policy speeches of his presidency

The trend on Twitter apparently started late on Thursday with CNN tweeting 'Breaking News', which though it initially sparked a lot of usual jokes on interns at the news desk, had many joining the bandwagon.
