Profile
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the sixth president of Ukraine, elected in 2019 following a career as an entertainer and comedian. He has governed through the full-scale Russian invasion that began in February 2022, coordinating Ukraine’s military response and international defence partnerships.
Why they matter
As Ukraine’s commander-in-chief, Zelenskyy shapes national policy on drone warfare, autonomous systems, and the rapid fielding of AI-assisted military technology — areas where Ukraine has become a significant testing ground for next-generation combat approaches.
