    Here’s a link to the 2019 presidential election if you’re interested. Zelensky is in green.

    This is the result for the Servant of the People (Zelenskys party, which is pro EU and pro Nato)

          I already know the answer. The platform they won on was to normalize relations with Russia and implement Minsk agreements. Then when they got in power they did the opposite. You should educate yourself on the subject so you don’t make a clown of yourself in the future.

            Why did you ask if you already knew?

            There were posted images of old elections, giving the impression of a country divided by pro-europe or pro-russia when in 2019 there was a big support for the pro-EU and pro-NATO party all over the country. Just wanted to provide some context there.

              I asked because I wanted to know whether you know. The context for what platform Zelensky got elected on is pretty important here. What you’ve provided is misinformation, go read up on the subject to educate yourself on it.

                So I looked up their party platform of 2019, and it said that their goal was to restore the territorial integrity and state sovereignty of Ukraine. That might include the Minsk agreements, since I remember Zelensky talking about having free and fair referendrums in Donbass and Luhansk regarding autonomy.

                However, nothing about relations with Russia, only stuff about implementing the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement and expand cooperation with the EU and NATO. Also something about relaunching their relations with their western neighbours?

                  Russia was never against Ukraine having relations with the west, not sure why you think that was relevant. Implementation of Minsk agreements was the core part of the platform because autonomy of Donbas was what the civil war since 2014 was all about.

                    Where did I state that Russia had something against Ukraines relations with the west?
