Not a dime more for Ukraine.

Social media’s response to the story and photo shoot is mixed, with some praising their using the platform to raise awareness of the ongoing war, while others have called it out as an insensitive vanity project amid ongoing violence in their country.
The magazine spread also comes after Zelensky made an appearance at the 2022 Grammys virtually to address the war.

People are dying, but Zelensky is busy taking pictures for Vogue.

War is profitable for many. There's always an alternative to War – War is Brutal. Nice that Zelensky has time for Vogue in the midst of War – What's brave about fighting a War to suit #US #NATO agenda while tens of thousands of less privileged Ukrainian sons + daughters die…? https://t.co/grzikLchXX

A complete loss of sovereignty, a poor country, currency devaluation, a third of agricultural land sold to US corporations, the last grain is exported.

People are criticizing the Zelensky @vogue wartime glamour shoot as narcissistic, in poor taste, and wrongly timed but what they forget is that it’s also tone deaf and elitist.
