Zelenskiy receives Charlemagne prize: ‘Prelude to further growing together in Europe’

Yesterday in Aachen, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy accepted this year’s International Charlemagne Prize, awarded to him and the Ukrainian people for services to the unity of Europe. Zelenskiy’s role in repelling the Russian war of aggression was highlighted in the citation: He was not just the President of his people and the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian army. He was „also the motivator, communicator, the engine and the bracket between Ukraine and the great phalanx of supporters.“
