This week marks one year since Russia invaded Ukraine in February of 2022.
And in the past year, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has undergone a dramatic political transformation.
Zelenskyy got his start as a comedian who played an accidental president on TV. He was then elected president in real life, only to see his popularity slump. Now, after a year of war, he is widely considered an icon of democracy.
NPR's Frank Langfitt takes a look at how Zelenskyy became the kind of leader he is today and why some Ukrainians still question his leadership.
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
