Who is Zelensky?
Video Summary
Volodymyr Zelensky, the 44-year-old President of Ukraine, has become a global hero in the face of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. Before the war, Zelensky was a comedian and TV showrunner, creating the popular show “Servant of the People,” which chronicles a high school teacher who becomes the President of Ukraine. He was elected President in 2019, promising to fight corruption and reform the system. Zelensky’s inauguration saw a team of young, technology-savvy ministers, and he created a digital transformation ministry to move the country into the 21st century. He also passed laws to crack down on oligarchs and reform the media, as well as opening up Ukraine’s agricultural market for the first time. However, his presidency was not without controversy, with his approval ratings dropping in 2019-2021 due to delays in minister appointments, police brutality, and perceived lack of commitment to anti-corruption efforts. As the war began, Zelensky emerged as a leader, guiding the nation through the most challenging period, and his approval ratings soared. He has become a hero to the Ukrainian people and to the world, leading by example, putting his life in danger, and navigating international relations with skill.
