    Most of my Ukranian friends would not vote for him in an election, it’s a bit of an ‘open secret’ in the country that he’s seen as a wartime leader who would be expected to step aside in peacetime.

      He was a stand up comedian before? Seems like he thought he’d be a peacetime leader.

        Because he barely had any experience in diplomatic relations before being thrust into Ukrainian Ultimate Commander. He unfortunately has become a wartime politician, even though that was never his intentions.

          So you think it’s better to choose someone else because of experience diplomatic relations?

          Are there other people in Ukraine who are considered to be preferred for the job when the war ends?
