Leadership Stories: Zelensky during Russo-Ukrainian War    NEW!

Zelensky's life to date has been packed with drama and action. By the age of 20, the Jewish boy from the provincial town of Kryvyi Rih had become a star of the stage. At 30, he headed a multimillion-dollar TV company. At 40, he took on Ukraine’s corrupt political and business elite in a TV drama where he played a history teacher who becomes President. Then he launched a real-life political party named after the TV show, won a landslide victory and became Ukraine's real President. When Russian troops flooded across the border, Zelensky refused Western offers to leave Kyiv. He has marshalled Ukraine's resistance and successfully obtained Western missile systems and anti-tank weapons. What will happen next? How does Zelensky go through enormous daily challenges and what’s motivates him? Is his political mission almost completed or he will play profound role in building post-war Ukraine? In the next two hours we will talk about Zelensky biography and try to find answers on the above questions.
