The guy on YouTube compares rhetoric, early policies and early public perception of Poroshenko and Zelensky.
The conclusion is there are a lot of similarities and the difference is that Poroshenko mostly delivered everything he promised (which didn’t prevent him from being the least popular leader including Stalin by the and of his term) and Zelensky is mostly engaged in PR show instead of real politics.
Another conclusion is that every their next president is worse and by the end of the term is less popular than predecessor. And every next elections work under principle: ‘anyone but the old guy!’.

Ukrainians know that game all to well....unfortunately they don’t have a way to stop it repeating because pretty much corruption, bribes etc.etc is a way of life in their country....and not just in the political arena.

Zelensky knows that Pr only goes so far, however he has yet to really sink his teeth into his job as I see it. he’s still in a learning curve of how to get around the powers that be and get done what he wants.
