The U.S. leader added: "The nations of the free world, inspired by the example of President Zelensky, are more united, more determined, and more purposeful than at any point in recent memory."

The Ukrainian military's chief of general staff Valery Zaluzhny also made it onto the list, as did Russian President Vladimir Putin, who ordered the invasion of neighbouring Ukraine three months ago.
