(SIMI VALLEY, Calif.) – The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute announced today that it will award its prestigious Ronald Reagan Freedom Award to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for his courageous fight against tyranny and for his indomitable stance for freedom and democracy. As President Reagan once said, We stand against totalitarianism, particularly imperialistic expansionist totalitarianism. We are for democracy and human rights.” President Zelenskyy will become the eleventh recipient of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation's highest recognition. He follows in a long line of world leaders who, like Ronald Reagan, have contributed greatly to the cause of freedom worldwide. Appropriately, our 40th President was privileged to bestow the first Ronald Reagan Freedom Award upon Mikhail Gorbachev at the Reagan Library on May 4, 1992. Other Reagan Freedom Award winners since then include General Colin Powell, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, His Majesty King Hussein I, Lady Margaret Thatcher, President George H.W. Bush, Natan Sharansky and President Lech Walesa. The world applauds President Zelenskyy and all that he stands for – democracy, individual liberty, freedom, and hope,” said Fred Ryan, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute.
Ryan provided word of the foundation’s award to Zelenskyy by letter, one he delivered at a meeting today with Oksana Markova, Ukraine’s ambassador to the U.S. “These are the values and principles that Ronald Reagan fought for all his life and what his foundation promotes today. President Zelenskyy s devotion to the cause of freedom is truly a symbol of man s highest aspiration. He deserves to receive the Reagan Freedom Award.”
Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who was sworn in as the President of Ukraine on May 20, 2019, has become the face of Ukraine s resistance against Russian President Vladimir Putin s invading forces. President Zelenskyy s platform of anti-corruption and national unity helped win him widespread support.
Although apolitical novice with no military background, President Zelenskyy has earned the respect of Ukraine and those around the world by refusing to flee the capital, urging Ukrainians to resist, and crafting a successful communications strategy that has won over European leaders and citizens.
What a load.
Un f’n believable
Putin will surely surrender now.
Puppet of the Year Award 🤪
How about a Nobel Prize while your at it?
“Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who was sworn in as the President of Ukraine on May 20, 2019, has become the face of Ukraine s resistance against Russian President Vladimir Putin s invading forces. President Zelenskyy s platform of anti-corruption and national unity helped win him widespread support.”
Who will try to sing at the virtual ceremony? Barbra? Cher? Madonna?
Haven’t seen this much praise for someone since Fauci and Cuomo
The new Tony Fauci!
Should be no surprise.
Putin Puffers will go nuts! lol
Why not the Nobel Peace Prize and the Congressional Medal of Honor? Certainly the man who’s claim to fame is playing the piano with his penis deserves these accolades! It’s more than Obama did!
Reagan didn’t like war. I see nothing heroic about thus guy. What has he personally done that is heroic?
will he be receiving this award at the new mansion he bought in Miami.
Well, Reagan was a Democrat Union Boss before he learned what they were about, too.
No Country that jails its opposition leader is a democracy. You can add closing down three Russian owned television stations to the list of authoritarian actions attributed to Zelenskyy.
Symbolism over substance is now bipartisan.
Freedom award???!!!!! To the guy who is a NWO/WEF placement? A guy who admires and was inspired by our tyrant, Turdeau? This can’t be real. I would suggest they wait and find out the truth of what’s going on before they toss awards around. It is in keeping with the stupidity of the Nobel Prize for Obama and the Pulitzer Prize for various pushers of hoaxes.
Methinks this whole Zelensky is a hero stuff is going to blow up in their faces.
Don’t project your phallic fantasies on us! Perhaps coming out will be cathartic for you?
