According to Van Dopperen, in addition to his presidency, Zelensky also symbolizes the fight against Russia for many Ukrainians. “What I notice is that Zelensky really is the man for these people,” he says. “He represents the Ukrainian community not only at home, but also abroad. And he stands up for their country. So having him here is important to a lot of people.”
