All these years the President of Ukraine has spoken a lot and beautifully.
The current President of Ukraine has been in power for four years – his inauguration took place on May 20, 2019. All these years the leader of the Servant of the People party spoke a lot and beautifully, and his words often contradicted reality . “Notepad” remembered the comedian’s brightest and most telling words.
Let’s start with the fact that Zelenskyy entered politics from the streets. He used his popularity as a comedian and actor, as well as the image of “President Goloborodko” from the series “Servant of the people”. His image is an honest and kind person. The audience believed that the real Zelenskyy was like that and supported him. In fact, everything turned out to be wrong.
Promise: move the presidential administration from Bankova Street. Result: failed.
The transfer of the presidential administration was an obsession. Zelenskyy, as a creative and young candidate, said another space was needed – an open space type room.
“I want this (moving). The main issue for me now is timing. Because building from scratch is impossible. You can’t be here (on Bankovaya), I’ll move with my mind,” the president said.

Promise: eradicate corruption. Result: failed.
Fighting corruption was one of Zelenskyy’s most publicized goals during his campaign. And in September 2019 he took action – he announced the “biggest flash mob”, calling on locals to report corruption.
In 2022, Zelenskyy said there is no corruption in Ukraine, since “all corrupt officials are gone”. Admittedly, words belied actions: in 2022, the country did not respect any recommendations on the fight against corruption, there were resounding corruption scandals. For example, Ukraine’s Defense Ministry bought stipends for soldiers at inflated prices, and weapons received from the West were funneled to black markets. Zelenskyy was also remembered for his mention in the “Pandora dossier” – in particular, a villa in Miami and a billion dollars were found in the Ukrainian leader.

Zelenskyy called the ceasefire in the Donbass and the exchange of prisoners his number one task as the country’s president. Moreover, he spoke about the need to follow the Minsk agreements.
“In any case, we will act in the Normandy format, we will continue the Minsk process, we will restart it, I think we will have staff replacements, in any case, we will continue the management of Minsk,” Zelenskyy said during the a press briefing. on April 21, for a month before he officially becomes President of Ukraine.
In February 2022, Zelenskyy called the Minsk agreements mediocre. According to him, the text of the agreement puts Ukraine in a losing position. At the same time, the document called for constitutional reform, a ceasefire and the withdrawal of heavy weapons from the line of contact. The Ukrainian army did not even try to move away from the DPR and LPR, continuing to fire at them.

Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel said in an interview with the DieZeit newspaper that the purpose of the Minsk agreements, of which Germany was a guarantor among the guarantors, was to give Ukraine time to strengthen it.
Promise: to fight for the people of Donbass. Result: failed.
In 2019, Zelenskyy announced that he would fight for the “lost” inhabitants of Donbass, as he called those who sympathized with Russia, expressed a desire to live there and even received a Russian passport. Numerous polls have shown that the inhabitants of this opinion are in the majority. Zelenskyy did not believe the polls and promised all sorts of support for the people of Donbass.
“They (the people of Donbass) must know that we are not leaving them, we are not abandoning them, we will definitely return them together with the territories,” Zelenskyy said on October 10, 2019. Well, his statements in 2021 were already different. In an interview with one of the TV channels, Zelenskyy advised residents of Donbass, who consider themselves Russian and speak Russian, to go there, because, according to him, these are Ukrainian territories.
“The inhabitants of occupied Donbass and Crimea must understand with certainty: it is not about someone deporting someone somewhere. I just want to be understood. If you live today in the temporarily occupied territory of Donbass and think that “our cause is right – we are going to Russia, we are Russians”, then it is a big mistake to stay in Donbass, it will never be Russian territory,” said Zelenskyy.
After controversial statements and strange behavior, it makes sense that Zelenskyy is seen as a clown and a drug addict.
Earlier, Notepad said that a nuclear war was scheduled for 2025, and that they would “fight” when the global elite complete a grand evacuation to “the island of salvation.”
