Djunior posted an article that is behind a paywall btw.


It's not, or there could be an article limit that I haven't reached yet but I've read a bunch of Guardian articles already so I don't think that's the case

Limit of 3 or 5 easily reached, what you can do however is to find a copy of the article elsewhere on google, there are some.

If that's the case it's clear that "he was elected on a mandate of peace and reconciliation" is incorrect, there were three promises then.

Looking at those three promises I think it all failed hard although he did take action to decrease the influence of the Ukrainian oligarchs.


if you are elected based on 3 promises you made, then it is erroneous to state that the other 2 promises did not exist. Therefore you can say: Zelenskiy pledged to clean up Ukraine’s oligarch-dominated ruling system, but you can also say Zelenskiy pledged to clean up Ukraine’s oligarch-dominated ruling system, end the war, and improve the standard of living. regardless you can zoom in on any of the 3 promises and talk about that but this does not mean that the other 2 promises were not made. and therefore I disagree with you. he WAS elected on a promise of peace and reconciliation (among other promises).

also both internal and external barriers, and noting he was not a real politician at the time, all had a contributing factor to where we are today in Ukraine. I would not point at Zelensky and say he "failed" but rather, things did not work out at all and the policies he adopted were key contributing factors which led to this war (policy decisions made re: Nato).

Well I guess we should agree to disagree then.

The clown was exposed for hiding offshore wealth while campaigning to clean that shit up which seals the deal for me.

well if you want a laugh you can just wiki this : List_of_people_named_in_the_Pandora_Papers

I tend to agree with the chinese in this regard: i dont care how many people he sleeps with or what his hobbies are, is he doing the job. This is what will determine if he keeps the job or not. i.e. be reasonable. but your not wrong, as a president, with this mandate :mellow:

and to be clear: he is currently perceived to be doing a great job.

I trust you dont buy nike runners, support manchester city, use an apple device or like Alessandra Ambrosio. (they are also on the list).

"Ukraine’s deputy infrastructure minister, Vasyl Lozinskyi, has been detained and dismissed from his post for allegedly stealing $400,000 (£320,000) intended for purchasing aid,
including generators, according to Ukraine’s state anti-corruption detectives and prosecutors."

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jan/23/ukraine-deputy-minister-sacked-for-alleged-theft-of-400000

"Several senior Ukrainian officials have resigned as President Volodymyr Zelensky begins a shake-up of personnel across his government.
A top adviser, four deputy ministers and five regional governors left their posts on Tuesday.
Their departures come as Ukraine launches a broad anti-corruption drive."

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-64383388

"Kyiv's allies can start training Ukrainian forces to use Leopard 2 battle tanks, Germany has said, raising hopes of a breakthrough in deliveries of the vehicles.
Germany confirmed it has received Poland's request to transfer 14 Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine and will urgently examine the application.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said he was counting on a "quick" response from Germany.
"I hope the reply from the German side will come quickly this time, because the Germans have been dragging their feet, dithering and behaving in a manner that is difficult to understand," he said on Tuesday."

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/01/24/ukraine-russia-war-latest-news-leopard-tanks-germany-tymoshenko/

I believe people will tend to take the path of least resistance. Shame on Ukrainian officials who are accused of corruption if true; Well done to the Ukraine government for purging that kind of behavior.

Poland are piling the pressure on Scholz over the Leopard tanks. Germany has relented and allowed countries to begin training Ukrainians on the tanks; This could not lead to any tanks actually being sent, but is to avoid any added delay in the event of Scholz agreeing to send the hardware.

Well done to Poland for pursuing this vigorously. I've said I respect Scholz's right to consider the right choice for German people; I also think that Poland deals with their "nuclear fear" better than other countries. Perhaps owing in part to Poland's history, perhaps owing to its proximity to a powerful adversary like Russia and creating a "nothing to lose" attitude.
It is also true that indecision will cost Germany's reputation dearly. Not least among its allies and even in the Kremlin.
