Володи́мир Олекса́ндрович Зеле́нський

While it seems like the most common "anglicized" spelling of his name is "Zalensky," other spellings include Zelenskyi, Zelenskyy, and Zelenskiy. Apparnetly the anglicized spelling on his passport is Zelenskyy.

Here's a June article that discusses some of the spelling issues: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/zelensky-zelenskiy-zelenskyy-spelling-confusion-doesn-t-help-ukraine/

There also are issues with his first name, which is most commonly spelled as Volodymyr although sometimes reported as Vladimir.

The spelling on Trump's paper doesn't conform to any of the various spellings, but its basically correct phonetically so I don't think of it as being that big a deal.
