Putin, who started 2022 as one of the most powerful leaders in the world, in many ways has now become a global pariah.
Zelensky, a former comedian few trusted with a crisis, is now TIME Magazine's Person of the Year.
It's also been a year of twists and turns for two other world leaders: Xi Jinping and Joe Biden.
