Can one politician save the world?
Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelensky (born 25 January 1978) is a Ukrainian politician, former actor, and comedian, who is the sixth and current president of Ukraine.
Zelenskyy grew up as a native Russian speaker in Kryvyi Rih, a major city of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast in central Ukraine. Prior to his acting career, he obtained a degree in law from the Kyiv National Economic University. He then pursued comedy and created the production company Kvartal 95, which produced films, cartoons, and TV shows including the TV series Servant of the People, in which Zelenskyy played the role of the Ukrainian president. The series aired from 2015 to 2019 and was immensely popular. A political party bearing the same name as the television show was created in March 2018 by employees of Kvartal 95.
Zelenskyy announced his candidacy in the 2019 Ukrainian presidential election on the evening of 31 December 2018, alongside the New Year's Eve address of then-president Petro Poroshenko on the TV channel 1+1. A political outsider, he had already become one of the frontrunners in opinion polls for the election. He won the election with 73.23% of the vote in the second round, defeating Poroshenko. He has positioned himself as an anti-establishment and anti-corruption figure.
As president, Zelenskyy has been a proponent of e-government and unity between the Ukrainian- and Russian-speaking parts of the country's population. His communication style heavily uses social media, particularly Instagram. His party won a landslide victory in a snap legislative election held shortly after his inauguration as president. During his administration, Zelenskyy oversaw the lifting of legal immunity for members of the Verkhovna Rada, the country's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic recession, and some progress in tackling corruption in Ukraine.
Zelenskyy promised to end Ukraine's protracted conflict with Russia as part of his presidential campaign and attempted to engage in dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Zelenskyy's administration faced an escalation of tensions with Russia in 2021, culminating in the launch of an ongoing full-scale Russian invasion in February 2022. Zelenskyy's strategy during the Russian military buildup was to calm the Ukrainian populace and assure the international community that Ukraine was not seeking to retaliate. He initially distanced himself from warnings of an imminent war, while also calling for security guarantees and military support from NATO to "withstand" the threat. After the start of the invasion, Zelenskyy declared martial law across Ukraine and a general mobilization of the armed forces. His leadership during the crisis has won him widespread international admiration, and he has been described as a symbol of Ukrainian resistance.
He’s too busy with his hand in my pocket 🤪
The hagiography of this entitled globalist Z clown is really getting old.
It seems to me that the UN, NATO, EU, ... are the globalists/new world order.
Is that you, Zelensky?
The guy’s a globalist through and through. And the US State Department’s puppet.
Putin is not a globalist.
What a pile of crappy propaganda this is.
Sacred texts. Sacred objects. Zelenksy worship pure and simple. This is the kind of adulation and palm frond throwing that ushers in the ‘superman’. Long predicted. It’s ironic that this kind of mindless hypnotic hero save us stuff is attached to a jewish person as it was also the kind of stuff that Germans adulated about in the 1930’s. Should never look for saviours amongst politicians
I sort of picture Jerry Seinfeld slowly coming to terms with “Putin globalism” as Kramer recoils in fright and Zelensky standing in for George winks at the camera.
Globalist Putin
Putin: “Colleagues,
I have been to Davos many times, attending the events organised by Mr Schwab, even back in the 1990s.
Klaus Schwab just recalled that we met in 1992. Indeed, during my time in St Petersburg, I visited this important forum many times.
I would like to thank you for this opportunity today to convey my point of view to the expert community that gathers at this world-renowned platform thanks to the efforts of Mr Schwab.
First of all, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to greet all the World Economic Forum participants.”

Putin, as defined by his actions, is a villain and millions of good Russian people deserve a better leader.
However, nothing in that unambiguously factual statement makes Zelenskyy a hero.
Zelenskyy is not a hero.
Zelenskyy is a spoiled brat who wants an endless flow of cash from America and Europe that he and his fellow kleptocrats in the corrupt government of Ukraine will pocket.
The good people of Ukraine deserve better leaders.
Portraying Zelenskyy as a hero is counterproductive and inaccurate.
Putin AND Zelensky are both WEF.
No DesertRhino. This is not a biography of a saint. Rather, a very human man.
Sean Penn was in Ukraine, whose relief organization CORE is helping Ukrainian refugees in Poland, even said seeing President Zelensky rise to the leadership challenge and unite Ukraine in this fight is “one of the great privileges that anybody could ever have: Zelenskyy was ‘Born For This’.”
President Zelensky may not be the politician you chose for Ukraine. Nevertheless, he is serving as president admirably.
Don’t be too sure Biden has followed thru with his $ promises to Ukraine.
Zelensky is as corrupt as they come, who do you think you’re fooling?

President Zelensky is often not compared to a saint, but rather a Churchill figure by many.

What you are witnessing now is an internecine Globalist struggle for power.
And many here have happily picked a side.
LOL, are you serious? Embarrasing.
Respectfully, Sean Penn is the last person to get your world view from.
“President Zelensky may not be the politician you chose for Ukraine. Nevertheless, he is serving as president admirably”
Ordering your young military to fight to the death in a hopeless situation rather than surrender... I guess that’s your idea of an admirable president.
Shame on you.
I will take life under a globalist vs putin anyway. Life is good.
GO GLObalists!
Live free or die. Easy choice for many young Ukrainians. Seems many here would want them to live on their knees. Mymy how pathetic many of our fellow Americans have become.
