The Politico newspaper on Tuesday published its annual ranking of the most influential people in Europe, POLITICO 28: Class of 2024, and named Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Europe's "dreamer of the year", Ednews reports via Sputnik.
Zelensky inspired Ukrainians to continue resisting Russia's special military operation and "cajoled, shamed and begged" Western countries into helping Kiev, the ranking said, adding that Zelensky's leadership "managed to push through things that were until recently unthinkable," including the possible admission of Ukraine to NATO and the European Union.
