But look at the micro level, what are people going through. What is the leader, who has become such an inspiration and a figure for resilience and courage, doing for the country? What is he like? Everyone I spoke to in Ukraine about the President, they mentioned that it doesn’t matter what they thought of him before. It’s about being united behind him today,” he says.

That’s when everything got serious with lights off, everyone dressed in green, no aeroplanes in the sky… We went into the war zone to meet the incredible Ukrainians who have gone through so much hardship and suffering and heard their stories, and visited some of the places that have been worst affected. We had missile threats every day. The mission was to go and spend time with the President… Getting to know the man was a real privilege.”

It’s just a few bad people persuading and lying to people and invading sovereign countries, committing atrocities and being a bully. At some point, one has to stand up against the bully, and say, ‘You can’t do that’. Nobody in the world wanted this. It has created so much pain, loss and hardship. We all pray that the world stands up to a bully, and say you can’t do that, and peace and goodness will prevail,” he says.

We might lose some battles, but the wars on a bigger scale. Let’s hope that happens here,” he ends.
