Volodymyr Zelensky and the Spirit of Ukraine: TIME Person of the Year 2022
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 дек 2022
- Zelensky’s success as a wartime leader has relied on the fact that courage is contagious. It spread through Ukraine’s political leadership in the first days of the invasion, as everyone realized the President had stuck around. If that seems like a natural thing for a leader to do in a crisis, consider historical precedent. Only six months earlier, the President of Afghanistan, Ashraf Ghani-a far more experienced leader than Zelensky-fled his capital as Taliban forces approached. In 2014, one of Zelensky’s predecessors, Viktor Yanukovych, ran away from Kyiv as protesters closed in on his residence; he still lives in Russia today. Early in the Second World War, the leaders of Albania, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Greece, Poland, the Netherlands, Norway, and Yugoslavia, among others, fled the advance of the German Wehrmacht and lived out the war in exile.
There wasn’t much in Zelensky’s biography to predict his willingness to stand and fight. He had never served in the military or shown much interest in its affairs. He had only been President since April 2019. His professional instincts derived from a lifetime as an actor on the stage, a specialist in improv comedy, and a producer in the movie business.
That experience turned out to have its advantages. Zelensky was adaptable, trained not to lose his nerve under pressure. He knew how to read a crowd and react to its moods and expectations. Now his audience was the world. He was determined not to let them down.

I am a teacher from Ukraine.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Your support is crucial for us now. We are fighting. We are struggling. But we are winning. And we will win this war. At each and every frontline.
Glory to Ukraine! ❤️
Ok, teacher. Good job!😡💪You were teaching your children to rape monuments to Soviet soldiers at your schools then. The generation of young vandals you brought to Odessa trying to convince us that they have grown up in the most peaceful and international city in the world?! No. Never. Odessa will not turn to nationalist city. You have tried to burn our people alive on 2nd May 2014, but too much cowards you are to scream about this all around the world. Try again. People from our city are all around the world. We will get together and you will run away. And do not blame Russians this time. So many nationalities as in Odessa you will never see anywhere in one place.
We ❤ 💙💛
You are winning just propaganda war not real war
@@dan_707 Are you blind? You did not see Russian soldiers vacate Kherson? Some people are just plain stupid.
Russian left that place,that was da strategic move,stop watching western propaganda news,watch asian chnls but not western
Hard to argue with, he became one of the century’s most significant figures overnight
Right!
when a terrorist became a man of the year thats crazy man, lets nominate bin laden too for man of the year he lived in)
zelensky IS NOT A WAR HERO.
ALL UKRAINIAN PEOPLE ARE THAT! !
SORRY FOR COMPLETELY DISAGREE WITH that nomination because in MY HUMBLE OPINION THE PERSONALITY OF 2022 IS ALL UKRAINIAN PEOPLE THAT IN UNION SHOW TO THE WORLD WHAT IS COURAGE, BRAVURE, UNION AND FIGHT FOR FREEDOM! !
THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE (AND ZELENSKY IS PART OF THAT PEOPLE) DESERVE THIS PRIZE and NOT only zelenksky! !!
IN MY HUMBLE OPINION THAT IS THE CORRECT OPTION AND THE TIMES MAGAZINE AND ZELENSKY AND HIS GOVERNMENT SHOULD CORRECT that! !!
@@magdagama8779 It's person of the year and not people or country of the year, learn some basic language ! Also, by your logic no person should ever be nominated for any award or recognition because no one single handedly can achieve anything significant. Ukrainian people weren't any less brave or courageous 8 years back so what's different now ? Make no mistake, had Zelensky fled, we would not be having this discussion right now.
My heart breaks to see what the Ukrainian people have to go through😢
how on earth did you manage during the ‘shock & awe’ in Iraq ?
@@lw1zfog Ok Russian troll. Wait until Ukrainian rockets land in Moscow and kill your family, then you will see where this war is going.
@@lw1zfog "Shock and awe" wasn't directed at civilian infrastructure. The Putler regime is out of options and resorting to terrorism.
@@lw1zfog what·a·bout·ism - the technique or practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counteraccusation or raising a different issue.
@@lw1zfog Probably did not like that either. Wrongs of the past will not fix the wrongs of the present.
He is a man who rose to the occasion in an inspiring way, a true wartime statesman and leader. May he lead his people to victory and a freed Ukraine.

Let what is happening in Ukraine be a reminder to us all (should we ever forget), that Freedom and Democracy should not be taken for granted as if bestowed upon us at birth, but we are privileged to have it. It is something we should treasure and fight for today, forever and always.
Then they should be fighting NATO and the US cuz they ass just got highjacked.
Never Forget!! This could be Us. Crimea should have been stopped There!!
Thank YOU 🙏
I Support because They killed my friends, then American Girl support with True Heart because I believe
Mind Begs the Question:
To support & arm an Apartheid State
Righteous,Evil?
Zelensky and the spirit of Ukrainians are the reason I support Ukrainians wholeheartedly. I donated $200usd through UNITED24 fundraising campaign created by him to save his country . I will donate another $200 this Christmas. The only ways to show our support to these incredibly brave Ukrainians people is through ACTIONS: Donation,Volunteering or Speaking out against the brutality of Putin and his regime. Unarguably he is TIME Person of the year !
I did the same when Russia started terror bombing the infrastructure, I donated 200 euros to united24.
The bombings didn't discourage me, even though I know my country could be next, it made me want to double down, help Ukraine even more to win and I boycott everything that is made in Russia, not because I believe all Russians are bad, they aren't, but because I feel stained, tainted, from having consumed something Russia. It disgusts me.
I feel like part of the disgust that is the Russian state (not the people) spreads into me.
I will keep donating regularly until this war is won. Then I will start to invest part of my savings into Ukrainan funds. I want my money to be part of the rebuild of Ukraine.
Knowing that my pension came from investments in the rebuilding and prosperity of Ukraine will make me endlessly proud.
That's wonderful! I've donated $50 so far and volunteered 20 hours in humanitarian aid distribution. Let's keep this going!
Thank you so much! You should come to Ukraine once Ukraine wins the war🙏🏻
Hahahaha you’ve been swindled!

@@carljensen5730 Until you land at russia today? I don't think so.
Hello from Canada! I already knew it, but watching this reminds me of the fact that this one amazing man changed the course of history. I believe that if he had left Ukraine, it would have been a totally different story; I believe that many people, from ordinary citizens, to war photographers, to government officials, to doctors, to utility workers helping to keep Ukraine's lights on.....I believe a lot of them stayed because of Zelenskiy.
He did what true leaders do - he lead. And that's no easy feat. I can't think of another leader I have ever seen that has done something like this. Certainly no war-time leader. He lead, in the true sense of the word; he lead by example, not by theory. And that's what made all the difference - that he is so obviously genuine, and so obviously living what he believes, living the words he speaks. This isn't just leading in theory, this is leading in practice.
When leftists became war mongers....who would have ever imagined....
A thoughtful and honest interview. Thanks for your understanding of Ukraine's existential battle. Many thanks to Zelensky and his dedicated team - Zaluzhnyi, Reznikov, Kuleba, Rudik, Podolyak, Zelenska, and many others. Slava Ukraiina.

@@Grek1574 Stay strong my friend. I am with the Ukrainian people and country in thoughts every day. At the top window of my house there is a illuminated Ukrainian flag every day and evening to remind people passing my house about what is really important.
It's great that he and the Ukrainian people have been formally recognised, however, I think he and Ukraine is much more than an award oftentimes given to people who have done much less, celebrities, basically. Zelensky and Ukraine will be inspirational for generations to come. Their struggle against a much bigger and mightier Russia, their bravery is so humbling.
Good choice! Glory to Ukraine!
When he decided to stay, it galvanized me, and I live in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Good man!
What 's lucky Ukranion that you have him as a leader. Let's fight for the country and him. His wife, kids and family will spend the nice life in the nice place for all people in the country. How's lucky You 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. People no need to worry anything just proud and die for him die for nation 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Congratulation ++++ American 's puppy

I live in the Pacific too. A world away one might say, but the world is a small place and if Russia wins then the tsunami of oppression will fester around the world. Yes, he is not perfect (no politician can be) but a damn sight better than what Russia could ever produce because Zelensky is inherently an anti imperialist, as opposed to Putin's 18th century imperialism.
The unwavering people and leader of Ukraine have certainly earned this honor. Heroyam slava! Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇸🇺🇦💙💛
This makes absolute sense. We rally behind your fighting spirit, Ukrainians!
Zenlensky 🇺🇦 Ukraine 🇺🇦👍 and all Ukrainian soldiers people are great unbreakable 🇺🇦❤️

Well done for the right choice.
The true heroes are ukranian people and generals who are fighting against russia not zelensky wrong choice
Zelenskyy is truly an inspiration for any leader worldwide.
This guy had no political experience whatsoever. When Putin invaded his country of Ukraine, Zelenskyy found himself in a position that nobody ever wanted to be in. Yet, he stood his ground against Putin's army and until now he is defending his country with every means possible, not giving away an inch for free. I can't think of any president leader of any time, who has shown more bravery and decency than he has. The world needs more leaders like him. What an absolute trooper!!
Faith in humanity restored (for now). Greetings from Germany & Slava Ukraini!
He knows beyond Ukraine boundaries anywhere in Europe he would be an easy Assassination to Europe’s Mightiest Power. Thus that clown is no brave he is a coward acting smartly to keep himself alive while letting burn his own country and mens to dea*h.
Fools supporting fools, yea they say like mind attracts i see here one 😄
@@rahulsawant8369 your word salad is as absurd as it is incoherent. Speaking of fools, you're clearly the pinnacle 🙂
Sometimes people wonder what it would be like to meet one of the Great Leaders of history like Washington or Churchill. This is the surprising opportunity to see one formed in real time. Slava Ukraini.
Best pick! Well done-Molodets! 🇺🇦
Congratulations Zelenskyy. I don’t think we have seen a nation so determined to fight for their rights against an authoritarian government with one of the most powerful military forces in the modern world like you
Honor and courage. Right choice.
Ukranian spirit! That's the spirit! May God bless the nation and everyone who supports you! Thank you for this video!
The Ukrainian "Trident" seal is the crest of King Volodymyr the Great from the year 1.000, who raped thousands of Ukrainian women. So my humble question is. Do y'all really want to wear the crest of a Rapist King? For total intel on the Ukrainian rapist crest watch RUclips video "Pharaoh Zelensky Hammer & The Global State of Mob Rule" on RUclips channel "HomieLand Sickurity". All world leaders are friends with each other and come from the same ancient bloodlines; Mad Vlad is good friends with Glad Vlad. Rise up against this evil, all together now humanity.
In decades from now, when we watch movies based on this, we shall be telling our kids, “we were alive when this happened”.
And hang our heads in shame
Remember how that attorney Avenatti was once lauded by the media. Look where he is now. 😂

Glory to the Foreign Volunteers from all over the World who fight for Freedom with Ukraine.
🇨🇦🤝🇧🇧
Foreign fascists.
SORRY FOR COMPLETELY DISAGREE WITH that nomination because in MY HUMBLE OPINION THE PERSONALITY OF 2022 IS ALL UKRAINIAN PEOPLE THAT IN UNION SHOW TO THE WORLD WHAT IS COURAGE, BRAVURE, UNION AND FIGHT FOR FREEDOM! !
THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE (AND ZELENSKY IS PART OF THAT PEOPLE) DESERVE THIS PRIZE and NOT only zelenksky! !!
IN MY HUMBLE OPINION THAT IS THE CORRECT OPTION AND THE TIMES MAGAZINE AND ZELENSKY AND HIS GOVERNMENT SHOULD CORRECT that! !!
Such a good guy, he was first choice for me too, and Justin Trudeau was my 2nd pick
@@ryant3817 yeah he is similar to Trudeau
May God bless the whole Ukraine 🇺🇦❤️!!!

@@NTNTNT2577 Oh you have done another cut and paste. Complete with multiple emojis. Things must be getting boring in Leningrad.
God bless the president Zelensky and his people 😇😇😇 Slava Ukraine ❤🙏
Zelensky is not Fighting for Ukraine. He is just playing for Uncle SAM
One of the greatest leaders in history, not bad for a comedian ;) We are lucky to have Volodymyr Zelensky in such a time when the world needs to be shown what a real leader and humanitarian is, brave, decent and a hero to his people, cant say the same for a lot of so called leaders in the world, hopefully they can learn from him.
Alastair you have never said something so profound as praising the Man of the Year Pres Zelensky a true leader in an age of poor quality world politicians.
Sir Zelensky is a great Leader and Hero of new generation.
The true heroes are ukranian people and generals who are fighting against russia not zelensky
He’s a putrid little American puppet
One cannot help but be full of admiration and inspiration for a leader and a Nation that stands side by side and faces a brutal and vicious enemy but REFUSES To Capitulate against the odds has won the respect of every standing military and every freedom loving people the world over..SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦 ❤️
zelensky IS NOT A WAR HERO.
@@anderstermansen130 and putin is not a human
@@anderstermansen130 and you’re a nothing. So what ?!
SORRY BUT A LEADER CAN NOT BE A LEADER IF NO ONE OF PEOPLE HELP THE LEADER! ! NO ONE WORKS ALONE! ! SO UKRAINE PEOPLE DESERVES THE PRIZE NOT only zelenksky! !!
Yea he refused to give up while hiding in his mansion, while hundreds of thousands of his soldiers are dead or wounded, and at least 25% of his land is now owned by Russia. If he was true man of the year he would've went for peace talks, instead of sacrificing his own country and countrymen
Zelensky is an excellent choice for Person of the Year. He's inspiring!
You really don't know what he's done do you? He's a tyrant! No better than Putin!
The true heroes are ukranian people who are fighting against russia not zelensky
When this war ends, the first country in the world I want to visit is Ukraine. I know this goal is shared by others who, like me, have seen the heroic stance made by Ukrainians.
Me also.
Merci beaucoup my TIME. Volodymyr Zelensky and the Ukrainians deserve it.
From now on the word Ukrainian will be, for me and many, many others I'm sure, synonymous with Hero. Glory to Ukraine and it's enormously brave and courageus people.
I was happy to see the President of Ukrainian getting the Time Magazine cover. For all the hard work, he has to fight against Russia in this battle is extraordinary.
🤣🤣🤣collecting money for himself and his wife? Yes. he's great con artist , and it seems half the world has bough into it....I despise him.

@@daksh3061 But at least he didn’t leave it! Like some leaders did?
@@lorelailaval7676 Russian apologist
So HAr collecting Euros like his wife and own personal finances, while sell his country, just following EEUU agenda.
The fact that President Z started by portraying Ukraine politics in a satirical comedy is what makes this particularly poignant
How does his role in a comedy make it any more sad than Orcs murdering civilians?
You are wrong and you are blaming the victim, Ukraine. Russia is 100 times bigger and stronger and invaded my cou try to conquer it. Just because it thougjt it could do it easily. Rarara its not easy it seems.
@@volo7877 not easy when your country is being used as a NEOCON PNAC proxy puppet
It's so weird. We used to say that life imitates art but what do you call this?
@@volo7877 I don’t think they’re criticising him
Wow! I'm in awe of this fantastic leader. Slava Ukraine! The western world will be with you to the end and we will prevail.
Maybe you but most Americans will not we care about our own life’s here
R.I.P. ukraine 🇷🇺
@@matthewbrophy6555 I really hope it will end with R.I.P. Russia. Let's pray for that.
@@illuminatothegreat1056 if American's really care about their own lives, they will care about Ukraine. If Russia wins it might have influence on Americans' lives, and not one you will appreciate. It's stupid not to see it, to think US is an island. it's not. It amazes me each time when I see this kind attitude from the Americans.
@@malgorzataojoj4256 Russia has won already you 🤡. Russia is sitting right above recently discovered huge amounts of natural resources of natural gas in the Donbas and Crimea peninsula. No1 is disputing lives of anyone Ukrainian or Russians or mercenaries. Russia has won already and will win the war and that’s it it won’t effect is Americans in any way. Russia doesn’t want nato to keep spreading like a virus to their borders. If Russia was in Mexico you think we’ll like that ?
Much respect to Ukraine 🇺🇦 from the USA 🇺🇸
So thrilled Time did right by honoring Zelensky! I am awed by his grace, wits, courage, and by far for the love of his homeland and fellow countrymen/women.
Lol!
A very well deserved statuts for a true leader who stands by his people and his country.
🇺🇦
Mr. Zelensky is an inspiration for every freedom loving person in the world. May God grant Ukraine victory! Слава Україні 🇺🇦❤️
YEAH? LOOK THIS from TIME 2021 ruclips.net/video/fy910FG46C4/видео.html
Hooray Ukraine, you are in our hearts. You fight with your blood and Malaysia is by vote.
And thank you Time for all the truths you bring to the world. Beautiful piece on Zelensky!
🤡🌍🤡
Perfect choice for the title. Not that real men care for becoming celebrities, such is Mr Zelenski. A real inspiration, not only for Ukrainian people but for the whole democratic world in making the ‘right’ choice when electing their leaders. Again, congratulations on your own election!
Everytime I face a difficulty in life, i will look at Zelensky picture and get courage to fight
The true heroes are ukranian people who are fighting against russia not zelensky look at ukranian people
😂😂 give em a blow alrededy
For this take photo of general Zalujniy (Залужний) . This real hero of Ukraine people .
Ukraine is a courageous country. Their soldiers are brave warriors and resilient.
You're just kidding, right? Wake the hell up and stop listening to these lies, silly.
What 's lucky Ukranion that you have him as a leader. Let's fight for the country. His wife, kids and family will spend the nice life in the nice place for all people in the country.

He is no brain , just Fight with people but not his family. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@daksh3061 It's clear to see that you don't know recent history or you wouldn't make that statement.
That man will be in future history books as an example of amazing leader. Amongst the greatest.
He also changed how leaders engage with the populace. Politically he is revolutionary in a world of 'blah, blah, blah' nothingness. Democracy more direct even if flawed. POLS science students will study him.
I didn't vote for Zelensky in 2018, and was upset when he won elections(I knew the big war is comming and we elected a comic guy, bruh...) . But now he became a leader that listens a nation voice, he's a perfect match fo this tough situation. You never know what can happen...
@@vadymvv it's nice to be positively surprised, right? A lot of times and in many countries people think they are chosing a serious politician and then turns out - it's a clown. Trust me, i know sth about that😉
Stay strong. Warm greetings from a sister near your west border😉🇺🇦
@@dor4376 Я тоже, не голосовал за Зеленского, и был расстроен, когда он победил, я думал, теперь мой президент клоун, но кто бы мог подумать, что клоун станет настоящим лидером, а все остальные "президенты" будут на его фоне клоунами, очень горжусь Зеленским и очень рад, что в 2019 году ошибся и слава богу был в меньшинстве)
Your doing a great job young man💙👍🏻💛💫💫Wish you can sleep an rest soon💫💫
Volodymyr Zelensky and the Spirit of Ukraine 💪💪💪
zelensky IS NOT A WAR HERO.
Wake up, people. Zelensky is a constructed personality.
@@ocox8659 righto, give us a logical argument as to why you believe that. A few references to actual evidence won't go amiss. Otherwise you are just throwing out labels.
Honor, respect, and admiration to President Zelenskyy and the brave people of Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine. Love from USA.
i agree time magazine. this man is exactly what Ukraine needed at the right time. a man grown in Ukraine with values. next is Nobel peace prize!!!! forza ucraina!
The true heroes are ukranian people and generals who are fighting against russia not zelensky
@@daksh3061 i agree they are heroes too. it is a waste of time to say who is true, truer, truest. the Ukrainian military is fighting with weapons that are not all Ukrainian. Zelensky communicated to the world what Ukraine needs/ed/will need. He has real charisma, one of the best leaders alive today. i'm happy i am living at the same time he is.
Congratulations well earned and deserved. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦
Great choice! As I was thinking of this I couldn't decide if Zelensky, the Ukrainian people or the Ukrainian Armed Forces should win the award. Слава україні! Героям слави!
Blokes a legend.
Slava Ukraine! Proud to to donate monthly to various charities supporting the Ukrainian people since Feb and will continue until long after The War is over.
Дякую вам . Брате
I remember when Zelensky told Nato "i dont need a ride, i need weapons and ammo" right when the Russians where almost at the outskirts of Kiev. That when i knew he meant business.
Thank you to all the real people who isn’t passing by our grief!!! That’s unfortunate that this WAR is still in the active faze
Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤ longing for peace ✌🏽
Glory to Ukraine! Good job Zelensky, you are the hero of our time! Love from Texas USA!
