Born on January 25, 1978, in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, Zelensky's journey from comedy to the presidency has been marked by his unwavering commitment to Ukrainian sovereignty and his ability to inspire national unity.
Early Life and Career
Before entering politics, Zelensky obtained a law degree from the Kryvyi Rih Institute of Economics but opted for a career in comedy and entertainment instead. He co-founded the production company Kvartal 95 and gained fame acting in the popular TV series "Servant of the People." The show, where he played a fictional Ukrainian president, resonated with the public and likely contributed to his eventual political success.
In 2018, Zelensky formed his political party, also named "Servant of the People." He announced his candidacy for the presidency in December 2018 and won the election in a landslide in April 2019, defeating incumbent Petro Poroshenko with over 73% of the vote.
Leadership During the Russian Invasion
Since the Russian attack on Ukraine in February 2022, Zelensky has been at the forefront of Ukraine's resistance. His bravery and determination to achieve peace at any cost have earned him worldwide recognition, with comparisons to historical figures like Winston Churchill for his leadership during wartime.
Zelensky has been active in rallying international support for Ukraine, emphasizing the need for military aid and diplomatic support against Russian aggression. His refusal to leave Ukraine despite the danger has made him an international symbol of courage and resilience.
