Who is Ukrainian president Zelensky and how did he turn from comedian to war-time leader fighting off Putin's Russia, one of the most powerful militaries in the world?
A famous Russian-speaking actor and comedian, Volodymyr Zelensky, won the Ukrainian presidential race in 2019. In February 2022, his country was invaded by Russia. While Russian special forces were already on the outskirts of the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, and most Western governments expected Ukraine to fall within days, president Zelensky rejected the West’s offer to evacuate him saying his famous phrase: I need ammunition, not a ride. He has since become a symbol of resistance against Vladimir Putin’s aggression and has been praised around the world. This episode of Post-Soviet Chronicles is about his life, his successes and failures, as well as his role in re-shaping his country and the entire region.
