Volodomyr Zelenskyy Surprises Graduates | 2023 Johns Hopkins Commencement.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine surprised the Johns Hopkins Class of 2023 via livestream during the university's Commencement ceremony, delivering a moving speech about the indispensable ideals of freedom, self-determination, and democracy and his nation's ongoing fight to defend those ideals in the face of foreign aggression.
Zelenskyy's remarks were broadcast live on giant screens next to the stage at Homewood Field, where graduates, family, and friends gathered for Commencement. Almost no one in attendance knew in advance that Zelenskyy would be the speaker-their first hint was the appearance of the distinctive blue and yellow flag of Ukraine in an introductory video.
