Yes, that was Zelensky’s sales pitch, and it got him into office, and probably it was even what he wanted, but his presidency didn’t play out that way, because fascist elements in the country, in the military/paramilitary, and in government didn’t allow it to play out that way. The guy was a comedian, an actor who played president on a TV show. He got into office with no political experience and got steamrolled. It’s extremely unfortunate for everyone in the world but the fascist elements in Ukraine.
