Volodymyr Zelensky: the people's choice


Volodymyr Zelensky, a comedian and a man of the people, has won the presidential elections in Ukraine. This is no small victory. It is a landslide, with about 73% of the votes in his support. It is above all the expression of a very deep frustration regarding the political elites and their inability to address corruption, poverty and conflict with Russia.

The people has spoken, and their choice is clear. Let’s hope for the best. One should see this result with some optimism.
