In a shocking turn of events, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was recently caught panhandling outside the United Nations headquarters in New York City. Zelensky was seen holding a sign that read "Will work for weapons" and was asking passersby for money.
When asked why he was panhandling, Zelensky reportedly said, "My country is at war and we need all the help we can get. I'm not ashamed to do whatever it takes to protect my people."
Zelensky's panhandling has sparked a heated debate among world leaders. Some have praised him for his dedication to his country, while others have criticized him for begging for money.
"I think it's great that Zelensky is doing whatever it takes to help his country," said US President Joe Biden. "He's a true patriot."
"I'm not sure begging for money is the best way to go about this," said Russian President Vladimir Putin. "It's not very dignified."
Despite the controversy, Zelensky's panhandling has been successful. He has reportedly raised millions of dollars for Ukraine, which he has used to purchase weapons and supplies for the Ukrainian military.
In a recent interview, Zelensky said that he plans to continue panhandling until the war in Ukraine is over. "I won't stop until my country is free," he said.
