The Oscar-winning actor was in Kyiv when Russia invaded its neighbor and even got an interview with the Ukrainian president for his documentary 'Superpower.'
Both acknowledge that they've put aside their differences to speak about Zelensky.
"You and I can argue all day, but I look at you and I think you believe in this country in your way, I believe in it in mine," Penn says."When you step into a country of such incredible unity, you realize what we've all been missing." "I wanted very much to go to the country where freedom [is], to find it, to have this feeling," Zelensky tells Penn."Ukraine has so long time wanted to be free, and Ukrainians didn't understand—me also—we didn't understand that we have to pay for it. And we didn't understand the high price of it. This understanding of freedom came with the war, with the fighting for this freedom.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy's full 2023 60 Minutes interview in UkrainianLanguage translation is more art than science. Different translators have varied opinions of words and their meaning. For last week's interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, we used the services of three independent interpreters of the Ukrainian language. The first translation occurred in the moment, simultaneously, during the interview. Later, a second translator watched the entire interview on video and translated Ukrainian to English verbatim. In the final editing process, a third translator sat with us and verified the edits that are always necessary for clarity and concision. At some points in our story, when phrases in English and Ukrainian did not match each other in length, we made the best effort possible to convey Mr. Zelenskyy's comments with precision and context. As a service to Ukrainian speakers, we are posting the interview in its entirety.
