Mrs. Alien sent me a link to this video today of a presentation the President Zelensky gave at the World Leaders Forum last week and I nearly pissed myself laughing. Hadn’t seen this anywhere on Kos, so if someone has already posted a diary about this bit of fun, my apologies for the duplication. I couldn’t resist, though—it was too funny! We all need some humour, da? I’d heard this man was a comedian in a former life, but I hadn’t realized that might have been literally (I know better, now—looked up some things)! He apparently did TV sketches and writing for shows and the like, but… aw man, just watch the vid. It’s fucking worth it!
UPDATE/ CORRECTION: Hat -tip to leckavrea:
“This presentation wasn’t give at the World Leaders Forum. According to the Daily Mail Volodymyr Zelensky gave the mock presentation at a conference in Ukraine.
It was shared by Indian police officer Rema Rajeshwari, who had friends at the conference in Ukraine.”
Rajeshwari, who shared the video, said Zelensky had given a formal presentation in the morning and then provided the comedy video during dinner that evening.
It was also shared by journalist Christopher Miller who was at the conference earlier this month.
The video was apparently put together by Studio Kvartal-95, the production company where Zelensky worked as a comedian.
