That is basically the same message found in the video didjuneau posted down stream. The people of Ukraine assume their new president will right all the wrongs their country has suffered, but it's reasonable to believe he'll also have a hard time standing up to the oligarchs. The ones who are supposedly paying him off. I don't condone his actions, but he may have disbanded the opposition media in Ukraine to prevent a repeat of what Trump experienced with the U.S. media?

Eschewing traditional campaign tactics, Mr Zelensky channelled his on-screen persona by promising to stamp out corruption and loosen the grip of oligarchs on Ukraine.

Experts say his supporters, frustrated with establishment politicians and cronyism, have been energised by his charisma and anti-corruption message.

His critics, meanwhile, are sceptical about his credentials, with many expressing concern over his close links to the billionaire oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky.

They have expressed doubts that he will be able to take on the country's influential oligarchs and stand up to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
