The Jerusalem Post recalled that at first Vladimir Zelensky was not taken too seriously in the world – the actor played the role of the President of Ukraine, and later he really became one. However, with the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, everything changed.
His toughness and courage became legendary and brought him comparison with Winston Churchill, writes The Jerusalem Post.

On September 23, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that he was shocked by Israel's position in the war with Ukraine.
