“Zelenskyy really galvanized the world in a way we haven’t seen in decades,” TIME’s Editor-in-Chief Edward Felsenthal said on TODAY as he revealed the magazine’s selection. “Not just other governments, but major companies that pulled out of Russia in mass and countless indidviduals who came together around this cause, around this county.”
