“We have a historical moment in Ukraine now where cardinal change is possible... where we can go from an oligarch system of governance to a European & democratic one.”

Give. Me. A. Break.

This article reads like a paid piece of whitewashing propaganda. https://www.ft.com/content/eb8e4004-1059-11ea-a7e6-62bf4f9e548a?sharetype=blocked

The current govt in Ukraine represents an oligarchic revanche. It's pure disinfo to say that a govt which has in its highest ranks members of the corrupt Yanukovych regime, is violating the rule of law, consolidating power, & empowering oligarchs, is a "govt of democratic change"

In fact, the Zelensky govt is the opposite of a "government of democratic change". This government is pursuing politically motivated criminal charges against the reformist, post-Maidan govt, from the former president, ex Minister of Health, ex head of the National Bank, etc.

This current government represents the ugly third stage in Ukraine's tragic cycle of

1 Revolution
2 Democratic Change
3 Oligarchic and Pro-Russian revanche

We should not be whitewashing their undemocratic aims or their direct connections to Moscow.

Several of the few true reformists in the government have left/tendered their resignations, making clear that their values are at odds with this current, pro-Russian government.

"Chance for cardinal change" is pure fiction, like the fiction that this is a reformist government.

And let us not forget Zelensky's own words to Trump about the centrepiece of this article, the current Prosecutor General, Ruslan Ryaboshapka: "The prosecutor general is 100% my man".

Those whocare about Ukraine should not be playing along w this farce, but supporting the patriotic minority who is suffering, effectively hostage, at the hand of the majority too naive, brainwashed, or ignorant to understand their self-destructive support for a dangerous govt.
