“Ukraine's Reformers Back a Comedian President” headlines a different view, a Bloomberg Opinion piece

“Ukraine’s Reformers Back a Comedian President” headlines a different view, a Bloomberg Opinion piece by Leonid Bershidsky. Citing interviews with former Finance Minister Oleksandr Danilyuk and former Economy Minister Aivaras Abromavicius, Bershidsky writes: “Their willingness to gamble on a political novice speaks volumes about Poroshenko’s failures as Ukraine’s leader.” Danylyuk, he writes, hopes Zelensky will adopt, on his advice, a “radical agenda including an overdue reform of the corrupt judiciary and the intelligence service…Abromavicius, too, expects forceful moves from Zelensky to improve the rule of law and stop law-enforcement interference with business while sticking to a tight fiscal policy under International Monetary Fund guidelines.”
