Hello and welcome im a touchy about good to have you with us former can we didnt all do is a lenski has been sworn in as the president of Ukraine Selenski immediately announced he would dis
integration is a reality check for a man who not long ago played the role of a president in a popular t.v. comedy show the outsider had been voted in on the promise of change. and the country didn t have to wait long for the new president to shake things up as he does so old parliament only moments after being sworn in a very high dissolve of a coffin or rather of the 8th convocation. selinski call here snap elections that he hopes will give him a majority in parliament the president really needs the backing of the house to tackle ukraine s mounting debt a flagging economy and to make good on his promise to fight corruption. and now the pressing issue is the simmering conflict in eastern ukraine which has claimed 13000 lives to date selenski has called for a ceasefire with russian backed separatists but it s not clear if moscow is open to
a bit fera but again this is not about the small print of political legislation people seemingly looking for that promise of change and hope and they gave him their support almost 3 quarters ukrainians giving him the benefit of the doubt on a big problem number one is are russia what russian has there been from russia to this new president well phil we had quite a response from moscow today. spokesman saying that putin would congratulate selenski only when selenski was able to prove 1st results in terms of improving the situation in the east and improving ukraine s relations russia so very conditional and pretty unconvincing for naturalization response that in his speech solecki said that don t buy us and resolving that conflict would be his chief priority so there s no really getting around russia that given that those separatists are backed by russia and dependent on russia but equally i don t see

dialogue with the pro western president selenski can count on the support of ukrainians but he also has to live up to their expectations. in the move which was wonderful to hear simple easy to understand words for ordinary people we hope that everything will be alright the hopes riding on him are enormous growth is going to. go to the kind of taking away politicians immunity ending the war and fighting corruption those are the 3 main things that need to be done. no no i do so i hope his actions match his words if they do i think ukraine will live in peace and plenty. tough challenges lie ahead and the one time act might find it harder to remain popular as an actual president. or there are just days to go before european elections and austria is in the midst of a political crisis the country s a junior coalition partner the all right freedom party has announced that all of
