For the past year, Volodymyr Zelensky has been making appearances at awards shows, film festivals and even the New York Stock Exchange.
Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Zelensky has popped up via satellite at both the Cannes and Venice film festivals including the Grammy Awards
He also virtually rang the Opening Bell of the New York Stock Exchange last year in September.
