Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and his wife perused a literary fair in Kyiv on Friday, leaving with a provocative new read titled 'To Kill A Tyrant'.

This choice, by Italian scholar Aldo Andrea Cassi, comes amid Zelenskiy's ongoing conflict with Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom he has consistently labeled a dictator.
