Editor's Take:
Zelenskyy's journey from comedy to wartime leadership is one of the most unexpected political stories of modern times. He became famous playing a schoolteacher who accidentally becomes president in Servant of the People, a hit TV comedy, then won the real presidency by a landslide in 2019. When Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022, he chose to stay in Kyiv rather than leave, a decision that rallied Ukrainians and won worldwide attention. His nightly video addresses and speeches to foreign parliaments became a central part of Ukraine's campaign for support. He has become the defining face of his country's resistance.
