This was so well done. I was focused on it during the complete presentation. To listen to President Zelensky, how grounded he is, not delusional, level headed, and full of love for his country was a gift to this East Canadian household. We continue to financially support Ukraine regularly. 💙🇺🇦💛 💝🇨🇦

Victory to freedom

I've been following up on the war closely till date, and this is one of the most unique, real and raw accounts of things on ground in Kyiv. Right from the subway setting, to the noisy trains disrupting the tempo of the interview, the terrified young girl trembling, and my favorite: President Zelensky himself helping David put on the translating device. Gold. This one's going into the history books. Slava Ukraini!

Such dignified personalities in this bad situation which he did not creat. But yet he handled it on behalf of his countrymen. He show the world how we should defend ourselves against evil, bullies, cruelty to hold our heads high and hold on together.

Mr. Zelensky is spot on about humour and its importance. It keeps your humanity, releases tension, helps us to focus on the necessary. I've always said there is a great similarity between Ukrainian and British humour - dark, dry, sometimes sarcastic. At a personal level, it's what got us through WW2 despite the overwhelming odds. Their humour will help the Ukrainian people to get through this too, just as it did us, with the help of its allies, especially the USA. Glory to Ukraine. Respect to America. 🙂

Volodymyr, what a great guy! Thanks so much for this Dave. I love this episode.

What an amazing man! What an amazing country! What amazing people! Thank you, David, for doing this interview. Thank you, President Zelensky for doing this interview. Your sense of humor, sense of humanity, and sense of love for your country, it’s people, and the freedom not only of Ukraine, but of the whole world…Thank you. I hope all of us in the United States sees this for what it is. Sees the investment we make in supporting Ukraine’s fight to save not just themselves, but all of us. They have their boots on the ground, the bombs in their skies, the deaths of their sons, daughters, parents…we do not. We do not, because they sacrifice for us in this terrible way. They deserve every penny of our support that we can give, and we should give freely and generously…understanding that if they fall, if the world allows them to fall, if the US and the world turns their backs on them…bombs will be in our skies, we will be sacrificing our lives for freedom because we failed to support a valiant fight against a terrorist state. Support these amazing people in any way you can. Their bravery in the face of such a massive enemy to us all, protects every one of us. We need to remember that. Slava Ukrainii. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦, Glory to Freedom, for us all. With love and respect, from one supporter from the USA 🇺🇸 who values our freedom and our liberties, and gives great thanks to the sacrifice of the people of Ukraine 🇺🇦 who fight to defend their values which are our values. Slava Svoboda!

Thank you from 🇺🇦 for so many well thougt words!

I'm not one for heroes but this man has my utmost respect. The more I see him on screen and hear him speak, the more I develop a deeper appreciation for his impact in the world.

This terrible situation cannot be ignored or wished away, as if simply stopping help for Ukraine would stop Putin's aggression. It looks to me that Putin is the kind of person who would never stop until forced--sadly, tragically but really. And Zelensky and the Ukrainian people have surely shown that they are willing to use the help that is given to them to fight back--bravely and determinedly. Special thanks goes to Netflix for sharing this video.

Leave it to David to keep some sense of humor in the darkest realities. That's a good thing. Zelenskyy is a brave leader like no other. My tears, my heart and my hope go out to the good people of Ukraine.

When I first heard about this I thought that I would have rather seen someone like Jon Stewart do this but I was mistaken. Letterman was perfect. This should be seen by everyone and I hope it wins a Peabody and an Emmy. A great and important video.

A remarkable interview and conversation between equally fascinating people. Thank you Netflix for putting this out for us. The only thing I wish is that the interview didn't have to happen at all.

Totally OUTSTANDING !! The entire world must view this. A story of unbelievable bravery, courage, determination. leadership, heroes and humanity. Thank you David and President Zelenskyy. Ukraine will survive and will be victorious.

I really liked this interview. The style of it. Not to pushy, just 2 funny guys talking behind a serious backdrop. Not overly or under dramatized. DL has a way about him, you can see he really cares which comes through.

Last year our community sponsored some Ukrainian families. I worked in a grade 4 class with one boy. Google translate is our friend. He wrote a poem about wheat, growing it and turning it into bread. He then made a picture with the blue sky and the gold earth was a wheat field. That is how I learned what the flag represents. 💙💛

Wishing the Best to Ukraine. Thanks for doing this and risking your life too. BLESSINGS FOR UKRAINE 🇺🇦

David Letterman is a national treasure. Thank you for giving a platform to this great leader.

Zelensky is a hero, he's an inspiration and will stay in history for decades to come! Ukraine and its people are so special, so brave and courageous! I wish them the best, so much love and hope this illegal war ends soon 🙏 😔 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

He really is the perfect man for the job! His spirit and his words are a powerful force. They are encouraging Ukrainians to never give up and keep on fighting. They are inspiring to people across the world. I want to see a free Ukraine, and the sacrifices they are making daily are not passing by unnoticed. I only wish I could personally do more to help Ukraine.

Remember when pundits predicted Kyiv would fall and Zelensky would flee the country? But he stood strong in the face of trial like a 21st-century Churchill. Slava Ukraini! ❤🇺🇦

Well, if you look at just the numbers, it’s not hard to come to the conclusion that Ukraine would fall in just a couple of days. Russia are very good at one thing… they are very good at fooling the rest of the world when it came to their military and it’s strenght. And then you have Zelensky, a pretty new president in a situation he wasn’t trained or prepared for. So yeah, a lot of people thought he would run away as fast as possible…. Luckily that didn’t happen, and hopefully what we are seeing now is the end of the russian federation, one that hopefully ends with Putin hanging from a lightpost like Mussolini!

What an incredible moment with a superb leader during war. I have utmost respect for the Ukrainian people. The courage they have is an example the world must acknowledge. The USA must never stop but rather increase the support for all these heroes !!! In recent times, when i see what has become of Afghanistan, the leader sets the agenda on how citizens react !!!

I had tears and smiles. 2 comedians, both of whom have decent, perceptive and kindness within them, yet they understand just how valuable freedom is. Showing this on YT is a gift from Netflix and I was transfixed by them together with just the right touch of humor in the midst of what is truly a global issue and is so tragic. It makes one wonder. Do we need a Letterman in the White House? I ask that not as a casual matter or to be facetious. Men like Zelensky and Letterman care about ordinary persons and their asset value to freedom.

I’ve always liked David Letterman. In many ways he has always been a hero because he has always spoken his mind. To go to Ukraine and have this interview is wonderful. Thank you, David Letterman. And, a HUGE THANK YOU to Volodymyr Zelenskyy for fighting for freedom.

DAVID Letterman, what a gift you have given us with this video and all the years on TV which I have watched every night. United we stand for Ukraine, for Ukrainians and President Zelenskyy - what a stand up, hero and fellow citizens. Loved that joke he told about NATO showing up. We are all linked together, and Ukraine fight is our fight! What a history they have to be able to fight for their nation and freedom - such dignity and resolve. They are all heroes to me, and role models. I had plans of visiting Ukraine and where to go. Such amazing people in MANY ways!! TYG. Thanks David for all the years you put up with all those G.E. 'pinheads'.

Thanks for making this public for all. Absolute heroes over there, all of them.

What a brilliant man. Long live Ukraine and the desire and striving for democracy. Long live the Ukrainian people. щасливого Нового року. Stay safe x

I've only saw small snippets of this man... His word carries cities; his smile makes others comfortable... and his love for his family as well as his enemies makes him a very unique individual. My heart goes out to the Ukraine 🇺🇦 people

Oh my. Thank you so much for this interview. I've watched Dave for years and always laughed,. BUT I was so thrilled to see that he always had read the book, seen the movie, knew the person he was interviewing. Now, when he interviewed President Zelenskyy, it brought tears to my eyes several times to see the courage and the kindness, and, yes, the humor of President Zelenskyy. He loves his people. He loves Ukraine. I pray every day for the end of this terrible war, for the peace that Ukraine deserves. Courage, and Faith, and Wisdom I wish for President Zelenskyy and his country and people. May their lives be peaceful once again very soon. All my love and hope.

Thank you Netflix for posting this video. It is a course in humility and compassion.

That was wonderful of Dave letterman and as usual he did a fabulous job! Even though I keep updated every day of the situation in Ukraine and sewed and hung a huge Ukraine flag from my front verandah here in Albany, Western Australia, on the 25th February - this is the first time I’ve actually uncontrollably cried for Ukraine. Seeing Zelenskyy’s face at Bucha, followed by the huge photos of lost heroes in Kiev, the soldier holding the cat, tears just poured. We can’t let this drag on. We must give Ukraine proper NATO weapons to take out the bastards on the Black Sea. Biden stop pussyfooting around before China too will be attacking Taiwan because the west just dilly dallys!!! Macron - “go feck yourself” - you will never be the leader of the EU. Schulz - go back to Hogan’s Heroes ….

Absolutely beautiful how Dave approached this with such respect and empathy. What an amazing man and country of resilient people. I am forever touched by this interview. We all need to do better in this world.

As someone who has followed Mr. Letterman's career since the NBC morning show, I have to salute his determination to grow, as an interviewer, as a journalist, and as a human being. This took great courage and I am profoundly grateful that I got to experience this moment. I wish the people of Ukraine victory and peace, and to the warmongers, all warmongers, nothing but misery and oblivion.

Thank you for posting the episode here. It's unfortunate that this war is still ongoing and he's right, the Russian ppl have mostly just feigned ignorance whether that's out of fear or because it's the easy thing to do. Whatever the reason their leaders actions is their actions and only they can put an end to this madness. Until then we should and must continue to support Ukraine, the rise of authoritarianism is increasingly concerning because we've all forgotten that freedom is something we have to continually fight to maintain. Peace has made us complacent.

@BBHubbs So you're suggesting that fighting until the last Ukrainian is the best strategy? The fact that the US and Western Europe continue to funnel weapons into Ukraine suggests that this war is FAR from over. It's only going to lead to more tragedy as if Ukraine hasn't experienced enough already. On the other side of the spectrum, Russian civilians will also be killed in greater numbers. Since 2014 they have been a primary target in areas, such as Donbas and Lugansk. I don't expect a comment from you or anybody else for that matter. But you'll only come so far if you continue blinding yourself and believing in this propaganda. Before the war, you couldn't even place Ukraine on a map but suddenly you care about their nation and its people?

Simply amazing! Thank you for this video , thousands of people got to see who is our president and why our people keep fighting!

What an honor for David to interview him. Slava Ukraina! Zelensky is a world class leader. He is the hero of the century. May he live long and stay well. Truly enjoyed watching this.

This is absolutely brilliant! Slava Ukraini 💙💛 I love how Zelenskyy immediately answers yes to if the war would stop if Pootin was no longer breathing, this just shows how well he knows him and the Russian government, politics and what have you, nobody wants this war but Pootin!
