    Digital Desk: The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy named TIME Person of the Year. As he continues to guide the country through Russia's unprovoked attacks on Ukraine, Zelenskyy, 44, has established himself as a symbol of resistance and democracy.

    "For proving that courage can be as contagious as fear, for stirring people to come together in defense of freedom, for reminding the world of the fragility of democracy—and of peace—Zelensky & the spirit of Ukraine are @TIME’s 2022 Person of the Year," said Time Editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal.



    Since the start of the conflict with Russia, Zelenskyy has stood his ground and courageously and resolutely led his homeland. His repeated appearances and statements have inspired the Ukrainian people to defend their nation.

    Zelenskyy emerged as a hero throughout the war, inspiring not only his own country but also other European countries. Zelenskyy's response to Russia's invasion was to impose martial law. Every Ukrainian who wants to defend their nation received a firearm from him.

    Even when the US advised the Ukrainian president to depart the nation, Zelenskyy rejected the suggestion and argued that the conflict already existed. My nation requires me. Zelenskyy had said, "I need ammunition, not a ride." His bravery and deed were praised since they contrasted with that of former Afghan president Ashraf Ghani, who left his nation when the Taliban overran Kabul.

    Zelenskyy maintained his de-Russification strategy after taking office as president of Ukraine in 2019. The capital of Ukraine has spelled Kiev for many years (Russian). Zelenskyy proposed Kyiv as the new spelling (Ukrainian). There were also a few altered Russian-language signposts. In addition to doing this, Zelenskyy also deactivated television networks run by Putin's adviser.

    Since Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, ordered an invasion of Ukraine, there has been unrest there. The number of Ukrainians who lost their jobs, houses, and loved ones is in the thousands, and it's growing daily. However, there have been several courageous examples of Ukrainian resiliency that have risen online and captured the attention of internet users.
