On the First Channel of Suspline (Public Broadcasting) they will air a BBC documentary series about Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky. New episodes will be released every Monday at 22:00 starting in 5 October. This is reported by Suspline Broadcasting.
- Starting 5 October on the First Channel of Suspline, watch a three-part documentary project produced by the BBC, The History of Zelensky. The series about the making and path to the political career of Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky was released in 2024. It is the first project to be freely presented to Ukrainian viewers, the announcement says.
The documentary series was created by the British studio 72 Films in 2024. Its director Michael Walden (Waldman) explores how Zelensky's life changed after moving from show business to politics, and how the war affected his international role. For the project, the director made several trips to Ukraine.
The series uses fragments of conversations with Zelensky and First Lady Olena Zelenska, as well as interviews with members of their family and people in Zelensky's close circle. Among other interviewees are former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, former British Secretary of Defense Ben Wallace, and other political figures.
Viewers will be able to trace the main stages of Zelensky's biography: childhood, work in comedy projects, popularity after the series Servant of the People, his presidential campaign, and transformation into Ukraine's leader after the start of Russia's full-scale invasion.
As Antonina writes: the Media Detector project is a three-episode documentary. The first part concerns Zelensky's path to the presidency in 2019. The second part covers his presidency from taking office to the start of the full-scale invasion. The third episode is devoted to 2022–2024 years and Zelensky's activities as Ukraine's president in wartime.
Commentary for the project was also given by Vadim Pereverzev, editor-in-chief of Studio Kvartal 95; American journalist and author of Zelensky's biography The Showman Simon Suster; the president's press secretary from 2019–2021 years Julia Mendel; and former head of the Presidential Administration Andriy Yermak.
4 October, President Volodymyr Zelensky commented on the “Goncharenko peace plan.”
30 September, Zelensky on the Lyman front met with participants in the Operation Vivadi (Vivaldi).
