On the election front, Aivaras Abromavicius, an advisor to Volodomyr Zelenskiy, tells Reuters that Zelenskiy would preserve the central bank’s independence and keep its governor, Yakiv Smoliy, in place if he wins the run-off next Sunday. Abromavicius, a former economy minister, also says Zelenskiy would lobby the Rada to lift the ban on private market farmland. Experts also tell Reuters that Zelenskiy as president would maintain the program with the IMF. Zelenskiy as a comedian playing the role of a fictional Ukrainian president gets drunk at dinner and tosses the head of the IMF into a swimming pool.
