With similar features and an almost identical outfit, “another Zelensky” appears next to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in various forums, the latest of which was the meeting between the Ukrainian President and his American counterpart, Joe Biden, so that many wondered about the identity of the man, “the shadow of the president.”
The proverb says that forty people are created from resemblance, so did the Ukrainian president find one of them?.. A question that caught the world’s attention, especially since the answer sometimes raises eyebrows, because of the great similarity between Zelensky and the man who appears with him.
Perhaps the reason for the great similarity between the two is that the guard often wears a uniform similar to that worn by Zelinsky, and often has a light beard similar to the president’s beard, while he shaves it if Zelinsky appears without it, in addition to his physical structure also similar to that of his president.
Who is this guy?
- The look-alike in question is Maxim Donets.
- He is Zelensky’s personal bodyguard, since the beginning of the Ukrainian president’s political career.
- On May 29, 2019, he was appointed Head of the Security Service of the President of Ukraine.
- He is 44 years old.
- Born in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine.
- Graduated from the Economic Institute of Vadim Hetman Kyiv National University.
- He does not own a home, and lives in a military unit.
- He has bank savings of about $10,000.
This man drew attention, because of his always sullen appearance, harsh features, his intense focus, and his military capabilities, which are evident in the way he walks, looks around him, and carries weapons.
Zelensky’s bodyguard is popular on social media, especially on TikTok, as clips of him appearing alongside the president have millions of views.
Perhaps the most prominent of these videos is when the camera lenses captured him walking behind Zelensky, when he met his American counterpart, Joe Biden, as the guard appeared to be an exact copy of his boss, which led many to believe that the video had been manipulated.
