As Russian tanks roll menacingly (albeit very slowly) toward Kyiv, Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed his country's application to join the European Union yesterday. In his former pre-invasion life as a comedian, though, he already performed a comedy skit about such an application and what would happen next. I won't spoil the punchline, but in light of what's happening now, this video has a weird, brain-melting, everything-is-a-simulation energy. NSFW language!
