So what do we know about Zelenskiy

Zelenskiy has turned out to be the frontrunner in Ukraine's Presidential elections. But what does he stand for? To begin, Reuters has compiled a brief on his policies. The information is based on interviews by Reuters reporters with Zelenskiy and his economic adviser, Aivaras Abromavičius, as well as public statements from his campaign. Aivaras Abromavičius is a Lithuanian-born naturalized Ukrainian investment banker and politician. He was Ukraine's Minister of Economy and Trade from 2014 to 2016.

In December 2014, President Petro Poroshenko granted citizenship to three foreign technocrats who were nominated for cabinet positions. The foreign masterminds were expected to contribute expert advice to overcome the severe economic and defense threats facing Ukraine. Lithuanian Aivaras Abromavičius was one of those three. He resigned from office in 2018 citing a government that was unwilling to take the steps necessary to curtail corruption. You can read about his position here. 

So how much of this do you believe? Personally, I believe Zelenskiy would say anything to get elected, just as one would on a reality TV show. What happens after that, no one knows for certain, but we do know he does not speak Ukrainian and his show was funded by an ousted oligarch. What path will he follow? Well, he's gone to Paris to visit Macron in a move that won't help Poroshenko.

God help Ukraine!
