Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine has a net worth of $1.5 million approx. He had vowed to run the country free of Oligarchs. 

Following the invasion of Russia into Ukraine's capital today, the war has begun. The world condemns the actor of Russia because war is never a solution, and peace is the only path to stability.

When everyone around the world is standing up against Putin's act, it will not only cause bloodshed in Ukraine but also cause a humanitarian catastrophe around the world. In addition, it will affect the global economy, and the impact has begun to surface. 

Volodymyr Zelenskyy Has Net Worth In Millions In 2022

According to This Nation, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has a net worth of approx. $1.5 million in 2022. He is a Ukrainian politician, actor, and comedian. He has been the president of Ukraine since May 2019.

However, if someone digs up into his past, it would be hard to believe that he had any plans to join politics or become a president someday.

He graduated from the Kryvyi Rih Institute of Economics, where he received a law degree. But, he did not follow a career path in that sector.

Incredible speech of @ZelenskyyUa 🤝✊
May the reason and wisdom of Russian people be the hope to the madness of the man tragically leading them
This is not about #Ukraine. This is about People.
We are people ! 👐 https://t.co/dOcRQoNgIV

Rather, at the age of 17, he joined the local KVN (a comedy competition) team and was soon invited to join the unified Ukrainian club "Zaporizhia-Kryvyi Rih-Transit," which competed in the KVN's Major League and finally won in 1997.

He founded and led the Kvartal 95 crew in the same year, which ultimately became the comedy group Kvartal 95. The team members spent a lot of time in Moscow and were regularly touring post-Soviet nations.

Then in 2003, Kvartal 95 began creating TV series for Ukrainian TV station 1+1, and in 2005, the crew moved to Inter, another Ukrainian TV channel. 

After 2008, he began featuring in films. He was starred in several movies such as Love in the Big City, Office Romance. Our Time, Rzhevsky Versus Napoleon, 8 First Dates, Love in Vegas, 8 New Dates and I, You, He, She. 

He also appeared on some television series such as Dancing with the stars (Ukraine), Svaty, and Servant of the people. He had earned a tremendous amount of name and fame in the entertainment industry when he suddenly decided to join politics in 2019.

Kvartal 95 members founded a political party named Servant of the People in March 2018 by members and produced the same-named television series.

According to Wikipedia, in a March 2019 interview with Der Spiegel, Zelenskyy stated that he entered politics "to restore public trust in politicians. He added that he wanted "to bring professional, decent people to power" and that he "would like to change the mood and timbre of the political establishment, as much as possible."

And, within a year of joining politics, he stood up for presidential candidacy and won the election. However, he had promised that he would take office for only one term, i.e., five years. 

Currently, it was his third year in office, and the war has taken place despite his efforts and sanctions of Russia from many western countries. 

Did Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Address Economic Toll After Russia Attack?

Ukraine President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has addressed the economic toll after the Russian attack. However, the fear of the Russian invasion has been crushing the country's economy for some time now.

The embassies and international companies began to close. Several insurance companies refused to cover planes coming in Ukraine, resulting in several flights getting canceled. It has resulted in getting hundreds of millions of dollars getting dried up.

As the Russian forces circled parts of Ukraine, the big and small businesses could not plan for the future as they did not know what would happen as the days passed by. 

This is the cost of war 💔

Likewise, Ukraine is a major grain exporter, filling container ships with 12 percent of the world's wheat and 16 percent of the world's corn. However, as insurance companies have refused to cover any risks involved in shipping, the export has stopped. 

The impact was seen months before Russia invaded the country. Then, the fear of the invasion had impacted the country's economy. As a result, the investors refused the plans for setting up hydrogen plants for the national Naftogaz energy company.

It had the motive to supply the stable new source of hydrogen, which can be used to produce low-emission energy for transport, industry, and other uses to Europe and the largest economy like Germany.

The investors are able to buy everything they can produce but decline to invest in the project, fearing the war risks in the country. The conflict had already cost Ukraine $280 billion, and with the war, it would gross higher. 

According to AP News, one of the restaurant owners said that he had stopped keeping stocks in his kitchens because he did not know when will the condition worsen. Before the war broke out, he had said that if he had to cook for the army, he would cook for the army. 

It is saddening and disheartening how the country and its people will suffer. The loss of lives and financial instability will plague the country and its citizens.
