💅🇺🇦Not many people dumber than Zelensky but his wife Zelenskaya is definitely part of the rare group, second only to her husband in terms of cringe (sorry we cringe harder on those Zelensky music videos).

💀 When she's not shopping in Paris, she's giving her expert opinion on why Russia should be sanctioned more. In Zelenskaya's business acumen, countries still trading with Moscow should stop doing that because it is "irritating" (00:30) for her.

😂 Just get her a new mansion, probably still bitter over the one that was confiscated by Russia.

🌈💰NO GAY? NO WAY you're getting my money says World Bank to Uganda because of its "anti-LGBTQ law".

Woke World Bank is pausing all new lending for Ugandan government as anti-LGBTQ law apparently contradicts bank's values (didn't know banks have values 😐).

🗣Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Act fundamentally contradicts the World Bank Group's values. We believe our vision to eradicate poverty on a livable planet can only succeed if it includes everyone irrespective of race, gender, or sexuality - Bank.
