Reading all of these comments years later, after the escalation between Russia and Ukraine, all of the people against Zelensky will see how wrong they were. He will remain one of the most lovable and respected presidents in the history of Ukraine.

[@kfk3000]

Zelensky is corrupt, Putin is corrupt. The Ukrainians are going to keep suffering as they have the last 100 years regardless of the outcome.

Hope the best for him an Ukraine, hope he will manage to clean up corruption on all sides of the political spectrum and stand up to Russia while help to diminish the violence. Will be interesting to see, but could fear for his life, those who benefits from status quo won't be happy about this.

[@nandwani88]

Yeah. Reagan was an actor. But was he a comedian as well? And did he play the role of an a comedian getting a chance to be the President? Because this guy and the current Guatemalan president did. And I believe that both people could imagine them as being capable leaders because of their respective tv roles. I am not that sure about Reagan. Just knew that he was an actor that later moved into politics. Or that he was a politician who just happened to be an actor in his early years.

The Ukrainian constitution forbids elections during war time. They're just staying true to their constitution. Which was written by their democratically elected representatives. Nothing undemocratic there. Just law and order.

27% is not strong at all .

[@BMP123100]

Heard of Pareto's law? 73% - still believe in fairy tales. In this case 25% active citizens is a strong opposition.

[@Fireglo]

Bear in mind Zelenskyy only got 73% in the 2nd round. He got 30% in the 1st round. The people who gave him his majority didn't vote for him in the 1st round. He was their 2nd choice when it was narrowed down to the top 2 candidates. So 27% opposition IS strong opposition to 30%.
