Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been checking in on his brave citizens. The leader stopped by a Kyiv hospital on Thursday to visit a wounded 16-year-old girl who was injured while saving her little brother's life. In a video shared by CBS News on Twitter, Zelensky, 44, can be seen delivering a bouquet of flowers to teen hero Katya Vlasenko The star-struck girl is speechless at the sight of her president, who asks her how she is doing and says: "It's not easy for us all but we are doing everything right."

The news makes Zelensky smile. "We have occupied TikTok?" he jokes, at which everyone laughs. Katya goes on to explain that they have, since everything on the social media platform is about him. According to CBS, the teenager was "hospitalized after saving her little brother's life." This is not the first time that Zelensky has taken time to visit wounded Ukrainians in hospital.
