In the US they don’t believe in Poroshenko’s victory and are betting on Zelensky
In Washington, there is little faith in the victory of the current President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, who is trying to be re-elected to a second term.
Izvestia writes about this , citing sources in American political circles.
“Given the results of various opinion polls, it is difficult to believe that Petro Poroshenko will be able to win. The Ukrainian leader faced a similar problem that many politicians who came to power experienced, for example, after the Orange revolutions. After all, citizens give the new president approximately 100 days to fulfill his promises and change the situation for the better. However, all promises, unfortunately, cannot be fulfilled for various reasons. Including the difficult situation in the country. So of course people are disappointed,” one of the sources said.
According to the second interlocutor, the US ruling circles realize that Petro Poroshenko’s policies were accompanied by a number of mistakes, and he personally could have achieved better results in a five-year term.
“If we analyze the situation, I think that Vladimir Zelensky is the main candidate for victory. For the majority of the population, he is a completely new person. Meanwhile, Yulia Tymoshenko is an experienced politician, but has a past that not everyone likes, said an American official who wished to remain anonymous.
As PolitNavigator reported, all opinion polls without exception show Ukrainian comedian and presidential candidate Volodymyr Zelenskyy as the clear leader.
