Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to receive the Ronald Reagan freedom award for his “indomitable stance for freedom and democracy,” Fox News is reporting. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute is set to announce the award Monday for Zelenskyy’s “courageous fight against tyranny.”
“The world applauds President Zelenskyy and all that he stands for—democracy, individual liberty, freedom and hope,” chairman of the foundation and institute board of trustees, Fred Ryan, said in a statement.
According to Fox News, “Ryan provided the news of the foundation’s award to Zelenskyy by letter, which was delivered during a meeting with Ukraine’s Ambassador to the United States, Oksana Markarova.”
“These are the values and principles that Ronald Reagan fought for all his life and what his foundation promotes today,” Ryan said. “President Zelenskyy’s devotion to the cause of freedom is truly a symbol of man’s highest aspiration. He deserves to receive the Reagan Freedom Award.”
The award is considered the “highest civilian honor” bestowed by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute, and is given to those who have made “monumental and lasting contributions to the cause of freedom worldwide.”
