Volodymyr Zelenskyy – President of Ukraine
Volodymyr says: ‘I like the romanticism of Jack London, I like to read it with my children. True, the children, in my opinion, are not very interested, I reread for myself – heroic things’

Volodymyr took office five years after the start of the Russo-Ukrainian war with Russia’s annexation of Crimea and invasion of the Donbas, and has continued to serve during the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has been ongoing since February 2022. He is expected to remain president for the duration of the war.

In April 2026, he said Ukraine has completed repairs to the section of the Druzhba pipeline that was damaged in a Russian strike and he is expecting European financial support to be unblocked, as a result of the election of Péter Magyar as prime minister-designate of Hungary after the defeat of Viktor Orbán in the 2026 parliamentary election.
