Hungary, with the biggest Sputnik deployment in Europe, got enough to vaccinate all 2,000 Hungarians who want it yet they still haven't used them up. Hmm, I wonder why that is. Why is Hungary using the AZ and other western vaccines instead? perhaps they don't have enough "political opposition" yelling about needing to use the Russian vaccine enough to cover 0.03% of their population?
His rating continues to decline. It's only a matter of time before other candidates pull ahead. With 75% of the country voting for him, expectations were high. He did not deliver.

Of course he is.

And it's not even because the latest polls show different results, but because the policies of Poroshenko and the policies of Zelensky are basically one and the same thing ( even though during the last presidential elections people were hoping that Zelensky would overturn widely hated Poroshenko's policies, that's why they voted for him.

Instead, Zelensky turned into yet another Poroshenko and solidified colonization of Ukraine.)
Medvedchuk however promotes openly pro-Russian policies, and that's why he ( and the "Opposition platform" ) are the main political competitors of Zelensky.

That's not the point.

The point is, the promised "vaccination campaign" in Ukraine is yet another disaster.

Yet another failure/deception of Zelensky.

Only in the minds of Russians does Medvedchuk have to be Ze's political competition because in their delusional world, the 2nd place guy has to be "pro Russian" According to polls, this isn't true however. Boiko is Medvedchuk's candidate for president, and with 11.3% in the latest poll it puts him at less than he got in the 2019 election.

Once again, arguing that lower numbers are higher than higher numbers. This keeps happening with soviet Russians insisting that half of Ukraine wants to turn away from Europe and join them. It reminds me of zombies really. There is simply no such desire to turn away from Europe in the majority of every oblast in Ukraine west of Luhansk. I'm sorry that this isn't true during the pandemic and wasn't true before it and won't be true after it. That is simply because Russia is a totally mismanaged disaster of a country and nobody wants to be like that.

Ze is less popular than he was, but he's still on top of the polls. His re-election is 3 years away which gives him plenty of time to recover from the pandemic and deliver on his promises of westernization and anti corruption. I have no prediction. He doesn't do everything I want, that is for sure.

Oh yeah...
Boiko.

I have forgotten all about him, because they are one and the same thing for me, since they both represent the Opposition Platform. And they go to Moscow to negotiate with Kremlin together)))


And as far as popularity of the parties goes, they do have different polls and thus different results - you are aware of it, right?

It's not about "turning away from Europe" per se.

It's about wiggling out of being American colony.

That's because some naive souls that vote against his party still believe that Zelensky is a "good guy" who has been duped by "his ministers."

I don't believe he will make it till the end of his term.

Three IT parks are in various stages of development in the country (Lviv, Kiev and Kharkov). More cities are starting their own... we'll see how the collaborative workspace evolves after the pandemic.
Ummm. Yes. Slave labor is cheap. You can't put enough lipstick on that pig DKM.

Oh Jerseygent;
That pie chart of yours meant the following;


"How much the financial situation of your family changed because of the rising utility prices? ( Heating/gas)

61.5% - A lot.

26. 7% - It changed, but not much.

10.3% It didn't have any effect on my family.

0.3.% - Something different ( write in.)

1.3% - Refused to answer. "


So now we know.

It seems Russia has officially severed ties with the EU governing bodies. All of them. Russia will continue to deal with European countries on an individual basis but that's it.

They consider the EU government to have nothing to contribute other than ideology.

Obviously.
Russia's relations with France or Germany is nothing like Russia's relations with Poland or Lithuania.

It's the US that want the EU to act as " one, unified front" against Russia, with Poland leading the way.

Because the fight against Russia is very expensive. Lithuanian Railways has already started selling everything from railroad switcheses and rails to locomotives. Latvian ports are also on the verge of death...Transshipment of Russian cargo fell to almost zero. So let's fight even harder.. Soon, Poland will probably have something similar waiting for it.
