Zelenskyy is Person of the Year according to Financial Times

The Financial Times made the announcement on its website.

“Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the FT’s person of the year 2022. The 44-year-old has earnt a place in history for his extraordinary display of leadership and fortitude,” the outlet writes.

Ukraine has made significant progress in liberating its territory, the media emphasized.

“Just as Winston Churchill went on the radio to rally his country during the Blitz, Zelenskyy has used social media to campaign relentlessly for western military and financial support, turning the plight of his people into moral leverage over leaders in Europe and the US. He has persuaded Europeans to bear the huge costs of standing up to Putin and to offer Kyiv a path to EU membership,” the FT explained.
