@OdinKinetic, “Congratulations to Putin and the Russian federation. We the citizens of Nigeria stand with you and God will always protect the people of Russia.”
@IjeleMela, “Corrupt people always know how to align with one another. This guy is probably very corrupt.”
@WeriseB, “May Putin never leave Ukraine!! Amen!”
@TheOliviaMead, “You will not get any money from Nigeria! Get out!”
“Our democracy was invaded and you are congratulating the man … on behalf of Ukrainians,” @aai_austin claimed in reply.”
@valentinowpg said, “Mr. President you may have to do this congratulation once again in the nearest future. We know when you won your presidential election, it was the will of Ukrainians that voted for you and voted out the pro-Russian govt. Ours wasn’t the will of the people. Good luck in the war.”
“It is now obvious that Zelensky has not learnt enough lessons.”
@gaiuschibueze said, “No wonder Russia wants to run over your country.”
