Warsaw (AFP) - When heads of state and senior officials from some 90 countries gather in Switzerland this weekend to discuss Kyiv's proposed plan to end the war in Ukraine, it will be largely due to one person: Volodymyr Zelensky.

Two years later with tens of thousands of lives lost despite billions of dollars of Western aid and donated military equipment, the charismatic preside...
