KYIV – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy visited a wounded 16-year-old girl in a Kyiv hospital on Thursday (March 17) and received some welcome news: He is a star on the TikTok video app.
After handing Katya Vlasenko a bunch of white and pink flowers as she lay in bed, Zelenskiy said: “It is not easy, but we do the right thing.”
Vlasenko, who was wounded when her family’s car came under fire as they fled Russian forces, replied: “And everybody supports you on TikTok,” prompting a smile from the president and members of his entourage.
Today, President Zelensky visited a family that has been hospitalized after their home was damaged by Russian artillery shelling in Vorzhel.
This is how a true leader looks like!

“All talk about you, it is all about you,” she replied.
