Zelensky has said Ireland had supported Ukraine "since the very first days"

Our Five Star man of the year might have little political experience, but the comedian-actor was elected Ukrainian president in 2019 on an anti-corruption agenda and has soared in popularity since Russia's attack.

Zelensky has said Ireland had supported Ukraine "since the very first days" of Russia's invasion despite its policy of military neutrality.

Zelensky had faced waning support, but since Putin's so-called "special military operation", his popularity has surged, with an approval rating of over 90 per cent worldwide.

However, unlikely, the Dancing with the Stars Ukraine champion of 2016 and star of 'Servant of the People' (TV Series 2015–2019) has become a global figurehead and Ukraine and Zelensky have won the heart of the Irish.
