Servant of the People, which was also created by Zelenskyy, ended its run in 2019 when life imitated art and the former sitcom star and comedian decided to run for president.
Zelenskyy is a member of the Servant of the People political party in Ukraine, which was formed in 2017 and named after his hit sitcom.
He was voted the president of Ukraine in April 2019.
Servant of the People has received renewed attention and interest following the invasion of Ukraine led by Russian president Vladimir Putin which began in February 2022.
