Volodymyr Zelenskyy BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy dominated headlines this weekend at the Munich Security Conference, where he delivered a fiery keynote slamming Russias relentless attacks and Europes weak stance. Politico reports he implored the Trump administration to ramp up pressure on Moscow, criticizing US pushes for Ukrainian concessions in Donbas without Kremlin sacrifices, insisting Putin aims to seize the east and only bows to force. In a candid chat with Politicos Dasha Burns, Zelenskyy quipped hes younger than Putin and will outlast him, while revealing work on US security guarantees and postwar reconstruction deals ahead of stalled Geneva talks resuming next week.

Euronews captured his bold demand for a firm EU accession date, targeting 2027 readiness to thwart Russian blocks, and he blasted Europes absence from US-Russia negotiations as a big mistake, urging seizure of Moscows shadow fleet oil tankers as floating Kremlin wallets. Zelenskyy held key bilaterals, including with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on frontline woes, air defenses amid blackouts, and productive Geneva prep, per Ukraines presidential site. He also phoned Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to align on trilateral steps, praising Americas constructive role.

Responding to election calls from Trump, he offered to hold votes if Russia grants a two-month ceasefire, joking hed happily do the same in Moscow. He swiped at Viktor Orban for belly-growing over army-building, thanked NATO for weapons saving lives, and received the Ewald von Kleist Prize for Ukraines courage. No major social buzz yet, but his resilient vibe amid energy crises drew laughs and applause, positioning him as Europes defiant voice with eyes on lasting security pacts that could reshape his legacy.
