Time magazine has named Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian leader whose attempt to fight off Russia's invasion of his country has won widespread acclaim, as its person of the year, alongside "the spirit of Ukraine."
"Whether the battle for Ukraine fills one with hope or with fear, Volodymyr Zelensky galvanized the world in a way we haven't seen in decades," Edward Felsenthal, editor-in-chief of TIME explained Wednesday. Zelensky's unlikely career path has taken him from comic actor to wartime president in the space of only a few years. He became president of Ukraine in April 2019, at the age of 41, having spent his previous years as a performer, starring in romantic comedies and co-founding a successful TV production company.
"The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride," he told the US, according to Ukraine's embassy in Britain.Felsenthal said "the spirit of Ukraine was embodied by countless individuals inside and outside the country."
