why did ukrainians vote for zalinski to
0:03
examine this question we to go back
0:05
before the events of 2014 and to
0:08
remember that until then Ukraine was
0:10
divided to the pro Western and the pro-
0:13
Russian part something that can be
0:16
easily demonstrated with the maps of the
0:19
results of the elections but then in
0:21
2014 the country saw dramatic
0:23
developments starting with a strong
0:26
pro-western protest that overthrow the
0:30
Pro Russian president Victor janovic and
0:33
it was the beginning of a Civil War and
0:36
finally led to a Russian occupation of
0:39
Crimea immediately after these
0:42
developments the country had
0:44
presidential elections in which
0:46
ukrainians seems to be changing their
0:48
past voting behavior instead of choosing
0:51
Pro western or pro-russian leaders like
0:54
they did before they clearly chose a
0:57
more moderate politician pet poreno he
1:01
was a successful businessman from the
1:03
south who in the past has collaborated
1:06
with also Pro Russian and pro Western
1:09
parties this voting behavior went a step
1:12
further in the elections of 2019 where
1:15
the ukrainians elected a person with no
1:17
previous political experience his name
1:20
was volodimir zalinski a Russians
1:23
speaking Jewish comedian and media
1:25
enterpreneur from the South during his
1:28
campaign zinsky was was using more his
1:30
native Russian language than Ukrainian
1:34
and he ran on a message of Peace
1:36
basically to put an end to the Civil War
1:39
that was tearing the country apart it's
1:42
not a surprise that zalinski was voted
1:45
slightly more in the Russians speaking
1:47
regions of the south and east and
1:50
actually zalanski tried to pursue Peace
1:53
by talking directly to the president of
1:56
Russia Vladimir Putin some months after
1:58
he assumed president prescy they met
2:01
face to face in Paris aiming to revive
2:04
peace talks and find a resolution to the
2:07
war in the Eastern regions of the
2:09
country I consider this election result
2:12
sent to the war a clear indication it
2:16
appears that since the beginning of the
2:18
war in 2014 most ukrainians didn't want
2:22
really to choose sides between the west
2:25
and Russia instead it seems what they
2:27
really wanted was just peace and I
2:30
believe this is what they want until
2:32
today now a year has passed from the
2:35
official end of zinsky presidential term
2:38
and I believe there is an urgent need
2:40
for elections in Ukraine as soon as is
2:43
practically possible to finally Define
2:46
again the long forgotten will of the
2:49
Ukrainian people
