Zelenskyy on Call with German Chancellor Angela Merkel Joining the EU

A clip from a Ukrainian comedy show starring the country’s now-president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has gone viral after he requested to join the European Union this week. 

In a bizarre case of life imitating art, Zelenskyy once produced a political satire series, “Servant of the People,” in which he starred as a schoolteacher who calls out corruption and becomes the president of Ukraine.
