Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy (born 25 January 1978) is the current president of Ukraine. He was elected on the basis of ending the War in Donbass, but considering the fact that the war has only escalated, it's clear that Zelenskyy does not hold actual power.[1]
Political career
Prior to office, he was an actor who played the role of President of Ukraine on a television show. He won the 2019 election against the unpopular Petro Poroshenko with 73% of the vote, but his approval rating dropped to 23% by January 2022 due to his neoliberal economic reforms. He shut down three opposition news outlets in February 2021.[2]
Russo-Ukrainian War
The National Security and Defense Council, led by Zelenskyy, banned 11 opposition parties in March 2022. In June 2022, only four out of 55 African leaders attended his video conference.[3]
