Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was presented with the International Four Freedoms Award at a ceremony in Middelburg, Netherlands, on April 16, 2026, in recognition of his and his country's courage in resisting Russia's full-scale invasion, now in its fifth year. The award was granted by the Roosevelt Foundation, an organisation established in 1982 to honour the principles set out by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt in his 1941 State of the Union address — namely freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. The distinction highlights continued international support for Ukraine as the war with Russia grinds on.
