Vladimir Zelensky is a year old President of Ukraine. His example shows how difficult it is to change the post -Soviet country - even if you managed to take power from the old elite

On April 21, it turned a year as Vladimir Zelensky leads Ukraine. Having come to power, he said: “I must tell all the ex-republics of the Soviet Union: look at us, everything is possible.”

His party “Servant of the people” received a confident majority in the Verkhovna Rada, this did not succeed in any Ukrainian president-and this is a great power in the parliamentary and presidential republic. During the year, the prime minister was replaced twice in the country.

The most important foreign policy agreement is the signing of the Steinmeier Formulas to end the war in the Donbass. Between Moscow, unrecognized republics and Kyiv, an exchange of prisoners and prisoners took place three times. The Ukrainian president several times communicated personally with Vladimir Putin, and also met with him as part of the Norman format.

In the new episode of the podcast “What happened”, Vladislav Gorin discussed the results of the first year of the President of Zelensky with the former secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Alexander Danilyuk, journalist Valery Kalnysh and political scientist Andreas Dlandes.
