    Z: Denys, you want to formalize relations with me?

    D: In memorandum.

    ⚰️

    Z: Denys, listen. I’m president of this country. I’m 42 years old. I am not some loser.

    😂 Comedian presidents don’t get no respect.

      How the hell did this guy succeed in politics. How the hell does working as an actor not teach you that this sounds like the most laughable shit ever. How the hell do you not have a response ready if you ask armed militias to lay down their guns and they refuse.

        He “succeeded” in politics by being a media product of Ukrainian oligarchs. It wasn’t a coincidence that he played a competent anti-corruption Ukrainian president on TV. It was a component of a strategy to place a bought, corrupted patsy in power.
