Volodymyr Zelenskyy BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. Volodymyr Zelenskyy is at the center of some of the most dramatic headlines in recent European history. Multiple outlets including Scripps News and Reuters report he has agreed to a US-backed framework for peace with Russia, final details still pending. The summit in Geneva, which included key figures like Secretary of State Marco Rubio and President Trump’s delegates, is being called by insiders the most productive meeting on ending the war so far.
