Ukraine Thread

But according to the polls he seemed to be faring quite well in the first year? 2019 that is.

I've looked at some articles in the Kyiv Post as well, he had a good grasp in the first year and now it's tumbling, especially with the new cabinet. I don't know too much about what is happening there, just some articles, so feel free to add details.

According to polls people still favor him over others, but it may be not his achievement, but the shortcomings of others. Yet his support has dropped dramatically since the elections. Why do still many people like him? His pre-election charm of a fair-haired boy next door seems to linger. Many of those who voted for him (like my mother-in-law) are sure that all the problems of his reign must be caused by the plots and intrigues of his opponenets. Ministers, deputies, prosecutors - everybody may be at fault (to say nothign of the previous , but not Zelensky (who brought all of them to power in his wake). Economy is on a decline which started in late 2019 (long before COVID reached us) and experts attribute it to the incompetence of Zelensky's ministers. And now he started to persecute Poroshenko on ridicluous charges to cover up for blunders in economy.

Just one of the examples that are in my sphere - education. We don't have a full-fledged minister yet - only an acting one. The candidate that Zelensky wants to appoint was caught more than once in plagiarism, but he still speaks of him as the likeliest candidate for the post.
Such poor personnel positioning seems to be a hallmark of Zelensky's.

Status: Putin is still a fascist. Trump is still a fascist wannabe. Ukraine's government still cannot get its act together. Nobody is willing to face down Russia.

Miss anything?
