so far as to not show up for one of two scheduled stadium debates against incumbent test reporters shanker. the fact that ukrainians had spent years watching him play it being president may have helped him ascend to the post selenski projected a sense that people could trust him by a supporter sankoh the more experienced candidate was seen as corrupt speaking earlier just after casting his own vote so once he was calm and optimistic. we still are today it will be a victory for ukraine the victory of a fair choice we've united the country and now look we've also united the journalists. many ukrainians are looking for something new frustrated by the slow pace of reforms and wearied by a five year conflict in the east of the country selenski they hope will usher in an era of change. joining us from selenski election event in kiev is

bit of a blow for incumbent petro poroshenko who conceded defeat the divide to stay in politics are shanker had presented himself as an experienced paris hands but it seems many ukrainians were looking for a fresh approach where we can says i think we'll see some changes let's hope there for the better and that ukraine see some real developments of the issues that you know the most important thing is that the war in solution should remain the will yet to move the system we've nothing to lose things can't get any worse than they already are selenski is young and full of energy care if he's an actor and a clown we're going to see some big changes he'll be better than poor schenkel one hundred percent. but if you craniums believe fail to solve their problems it's not clear why selenski will either the close his he's being to political power is playing a fictional president in a sitcom. and while his campaign was media savvy it was light on concrete policy ideas. he inherits a country burdened by a separatist war in the east rampant corruption and a sluggish economy selenski has not to prove to

berlin with ukrainian leader petro poroshenko but the meeting was overshadowed by another issue for shanker his bid to keep his job in a closely fought election back home. sometimes it's not about who gets. an invitation but who doesn't the head of ukraine's presidential election runoff german chancellor angela merkel drew criticism for welcoming ukrainian president petro poroshenko and then not his contender the comedian followed on mia still in ski added joint news conference deflected a question about her pairing to favor the incumbent government. and she'd and it was my decision to invite the president we maintained steady contact with plenty of exchange during the election campaign as well i think it's important to keep talking that part of why i don't understand. your stuff in the sleep lab ukrainian voters head to the polls in the runoff election on april twenty first some dismiss the candidacy of poroshenko as rival the comedian followed them yes alinsky a political novice as a joke the actus only relevant experience of far has been to play the role of a president in a t.v. show but

is extremely pull and as a result of some of the reforms which ukrainian government did under our shanker to meet demands of european union and the i.m.f. the cost of doing voluntary shot up you see this for instance in ordinary citizens and so on so so most people are are locked or of and they were years ago and that's reason enough to change president of russia the relationship with russia was it was a particularly volatile of important subjects only election both presidents using that for their own means the russian foreign minister has given only response to the result let's just listen to the foreign ministry spokesman where is a horrible what she had to say earlier ukraine has the chance for a reboot not in the sense of moving the country's wealth from one person spock it's to another but a real conscious consolidation of the people not based on force but on building a common agenda for the country seems like quite a positive message but the relationship with russia still going to be strained business how do you think this victory is going to affect the country's relations with mosc

credit and need to petro poroshenko left trailing in second place and had all the second lowest price shanker has been calling on his rival to hold a public debate so let's get it in one condition though a drug test both candidates invited journalists on photographers to the pre-debate blood giving or trying to have a pool. they counted on him gave them all kind of help and thought he'd take the x. soviet republic somewhere new the result roughly eighty five percent of ukraine voters want to show petro poroshenko the door the western establishment is baffled for them choosing between someone as hated today as the chocolate king pershing co and funny guy all of them are selenski aka is a president is a tough one backing the winner of round one who has no political background at all is like opening pandora's box well look at who he's been destroying with jokes for years the names are all they're way behind him now how's that for a political background. we get him going to. bring back crimea. ok this is. what about his own sitcom launched in two thousand and fifteen selenski character just a sch

selenski nonetheless the fact remains that selenski has polled almost twice as many votes as boris shanker he's riding the rejectionist the anti-establishment vote in ukraine and on li which you sought that the people who voted for the surge and fourth candidates mrs touma shane co and mr boyd call are more likely to support him in the second round so i think it would be an upset a major upset if zelinsky doesn't win but the problem is it's all very well to say you know that he's this populist candidate who's winning because he is against things i think the problem is given the problems of ukraine war you mean he is not someone who is just you know a vote because he's a negative you need a servant he who has a sort of more transcendental mobility to take ukraine's problems moving forward has the political weight in north or ity to actually start to address them at this moment in time aren't far from sure that's pretty mildly there's a lenski is that person i'll get in our wait and see but you know our i have no great that he is going to be able to make much of an impression even if he wins

members of the panel here i think a lot of business interests are really sick and tired of how puerto shanker has steered the economy and and also has a great deal to do with official care of as i call it. post my down here and there there are attitude towards russia well it is really wrecked havoc on the economy. in theory you know you can redirect the economy countries like ana me in a different direction but the european union certainly is not interested in much of what ukraine makes and and the official kiev has been denied the russian market it seems to me that and i'm not singing the praises of color money scheme but i'm sure people like him are saying look this this is a dead end we're not going to be embraced by the european union any time soon with considering all of its problems there has to be some kind of approach moment with russia and i know that's very hard in ukraine right now but there seems to be an opening at least. in london go ahead. the that was a very good point that i've made in a my report presented for the. book room think tank over the report tiger will tighten the

some kind of reconciliation and then now after being elected he seems to echo more of what puerto shanker was saying and then i hear he wants to meet with putin but merkel and mccrone have to be there i guess as some kind of chaperon i don't know john give us a broad picture of what's going on in ukraine. well you know peter i think that this is an occasion not for political commentary but instead for literary criticism . there is a strong tradition in the twentieth century and incidentally a tradition that's in many ways linked to ukraine of surrealism and satire in literature some of the greatest writers in russia like mccardell dark of nikolai gogol have described fantastical scenarios in which reality and fiction blend into one another and in which you don't know which is which and very often this satire is used in a political context it's particular case of course with goggle who knows famous stories the inspector all the knows are about satirizing political authority and this is a an old russian tradition this mingling of fiction and reality and politics it goes back if you like to

as far shanker is is he the antidote to a pinochet character someone who collaborate with the i.m.f. in ukraine we will have to see the ukraine is in a bind it's indebtedness will have to be paid out over the next twenty years and to the more prosperous ukraine is the more it will have to pay to the people who have and institutions that have landed it money. the more last month it is the more it has the bat. that's right because it's basically the system the repayment schedule involves our person a group higher percentage of the g.d.p. as the g.d.p. rises until the entire sum is paid off and i know christine legarde was convicted in a french court but i thought she said the m.f. was changing not as much as some people would like i guess joe biden is in the news in the united states for his twenty twenty attempt at beating donald trump and his detractors are centered on the fact that there's a video evidence of him literally dragged manipulate ukraine with u.s. taxpayer dollars we have victoria nuland admission of five billion dollars of u.s. taxpayer money going to propaganda the sor

sweeping defeat this yet of the for the the hardliners in washington i mean our poor shanker ran out rat on a slogan of army language face selenski is jewish he he. speaks better russian than ukrainian and he's lukewarm to the war in the east so he's the exact opposite of poor shank the exact opposite of the of the the hardline lobby in washington so this is a huge huge theater and incredible repudiation yeah but we did what daniel ukraine you've been on this program so many times and i really appreciated but i'm not surprised when do they ever get it right ok what were those talking points written in washington you know petro this is going to work great for you of course it fell flat on its face ok the whole project is in tatters right now and what you know. is worst nightmare was the voice of the people and it is case put it out i mean it wasn't even a majority of people that voted i mean it chose to fit t. the intense fatigue that ukraine has gone through so let's go back to the original question daniel i mean possibility of warming of relations here because it seems like there's
