Ukraine: What鈥檚 life like for President Zelensky?
Before 2019 he was a comedian, but now he's the president of a country at war.
It鈥檚 been nearly two years since Russia invaded Ukraine. Millions of people have fled the country and thousands have been killed. The fighting is still going on, with Ukraine鈥檚 leader Volodymyr Zelensky continuing to appeal for international support.
