Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy used his address at the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum at Harvard Kennedy School on Tuesday to urge the world to react more forcefully to Russia’s aggression and its increasingly worrying threats.
The event also offered a chance for students across Harvard, many from Ukraine or with ties to the country, to ask questions of the man who, wearing his trademark olive green t-shirt and speaking remotely from Kyiv, has become both leader and symbol of his country’s resistance to the Russian invasion. In this video, members of the Harvard Kennedy School community share their thoughts on the event and President Zelenskyy's leadership.
