Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky delivered a surprise commencement address to graduates from Johns Hopkins University on Thursday morning.
Zelensky appeared via livestream and also received an honorary doctorate degree from the university’s president at the commencement, The Baltimore Sun reported.
“One of the most common truisms on Earth is the advice to value or at least not waste time,” Zelensky said in the address, adding, “Every person eventually realizes that time is the most valuable resource on the planet, not oil or uranium, not lithium or anything else, but time.”

Dude thinks [probly right] he’s done if he returns to Uke-land. Never seen a world publicity tour like this for a ‘leader’ of a country badly losing a war.

Yes, it seems he's been out of country for a long time. Moreover, The Ukraine Intelligence Service has just said publicly it is their goal to assassinate Putin, while Russia, by all accounts, has kept the piano-player off limits.
So maybe those rules will change, and maybe he's worried someone in Ukraine Government/military is going to leak his coordinates to Russia.

That's it exactly. Since the ill-fated "bombing" of the Kremlin, he's been everywhere except Ukraine. Being a comedian, he doesn't much fancy the role of martyr.

Uh, huh. Dude is famous for faking live-stream locations and using green screens.
Like his top general, Ellen-sky has been missing from his own country for a long time. Probly out shopping with his wife in Paris again with your money.
