“It’s just that the last five years have been so terrible for the people of Ukraine, people have so lost faith in politicians who have been trying to lead all this time and actually rob the population that any fresh face, especially the familiar and charismatic, causes sympathy,” Azarov said .

He recalled that Zelensky recently released the film “The Servant of the People”, in which he sharply ridiculed President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko.

He also noted that for five years Ukrainian politicians “flash, tell, promise and do nothing”, or “do it only to the detriment”.

Earlier it was reported that Zelensky and the leader of the Batkivshchyna party, Yulia Tymoshenko, are leading in the presidential rating.
