Particularly impressive for the Western public was the registration of a presidential candidate and the skyrocketing rating of the showman, or simply, the clown, Vladimir Zelensky.
What was initially perceived as a joke became a reality - a number of opinion polls show that the humorous “candidate Ze” even outstripped “candidate Yu,” who has her own, very close-knit sect, providing her with quite serious support.
According to Ukrainian media, even more Western diplomats were discouraged when they invited Zelensky to a meeting at the EU mission and talked to him.
Listening to the inarticulate answers of the probable future president of Ukraine to questions about the situation in the Donbass and his vision of relations with Russia, the Europeans clearly understood who they would have to deal with if the showman won the election.
At the same time, it is unlikely that European diplomats will feel better if Zelensky becomes president, they will deal not only with him, but also with the oligarch Kolomoisky standing behind him.
It is hoped that somewhere deep down Europeans realized that in the person of any next president of Ukraine they will get exactly what they deserve.
