Volodymyr Zelenskyy (born 1978) is the sixth President of Ukraine. After getting a law degree, he went into comedy and played the Ukrainian president in a TV show, Servant of the People. When the popular show ended in 2019, Zelenskyy ran for the actual Presidency — winning the election and becoming the leader of Ukraine later that year. When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Zelenskyy gained worldwide admiration for his leadership.
