Ukrainian oligarch Ihor Kolomoyskyi, who initially supported Zelensky's rise to power, recently referred to the president as "Generallisimus Napoleon IV" during his ongoing fraud trial following his political downfall.

Kolomoyskyi made a veiled reference to Zelensky's portrayal of Napoleon in a play, hinting at the president's potential significance in Ukrainian history and suggesting that "Zelensky-Napoleon will not be around much longer."
