Volodymyr Zelenskyy
The Public Record
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the President of Ukraine, having taken office in May 2019. A former comedian and television producer, he gained prominence through his role in the television series 'Servant of the People,' where he played a schoolteacher who unexpectedly becomes president. Zelenskyy ran for office as a political outsider, campaigning on anti-corruption and reform agendas. His leadership has been particularly noted during the ongoing conflict with Russia, where he has sought to rally international support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Almost every day now, we are communicating with leaders to ensure that we have a common position, all of us in Europe, on putting pressure on Russia — the right kind of pressure. We will grant the aggressor no gifts and forget nothing.
He wants [a] disaster — [an] energy disaster during this winter by attacking us, each day 500 Iranian drones and 20 to 30 missiles.
We can already see that Moscow is rushing to resume dialogue as soon as it hears about Tomahawks.
Putin is not really, I think, not ready, but I think I’m confident that with your help, we can stop this war.
We see and hear that Russia is afraid that the Americans may give us Tomahawks — that this kind of pressure may work for peace.
It is precisely the civilian and energy infrastructure that is the main target of Russia's strikes ahead of the heating season.
Together, we can protect people from this terror. What's needed is not window dressing but decisive action – from the United States, Europe, and the G7 – in delivering air defense systems and enforcing sanctions.
