Oh my
Imagine being the richest, most powerful man in the world. He leads by Fear. He chose Fear as did Daenerys. We can only hope for the world that he suffers the same fate...betrayal.
And another dictator takes control.

sarahkendzior Like he promised in his campaign
sarahkendzior What? Is this the same as calling for new parliamentary elections or has he abolished the parliament by (ahem) “executive order”?
sarahkendzior No doubt a buddy of Putin’s.
Is this a joke or...?
sarahkendzior In light of this news I nominate AlecBaldwin as next POTUS
He’s going to hand Ukraine over to Russia. I don’t feel sorry for them either because they elected this imbecile.
Did he really? To disband the Ukrainian parliament, the president needs to sign executive order, and state a reason for doing so, per Constitution. And right now, there's a coalition reformatting, a 30-day period when disbanding isn't allowed.
That might be a problem
So, he's a dictator now?
Whoa chrisfrantz
This is the same Parliament that was having the Clinton interference in a previous regime, investigated
insomnio87 apa....
That’s what usually happens when you win an election!! What’s the big deal!!
And we all know that Trump if he read this just had an orange orgasm
In today’s edition of Elections Have Consequences ... Ukraine. Hazards of electing actors for public office who are not men of letters or history. The public, especially the poor, are in for a whirl of hurt as nothing stands between them & the whims of the newly minted president
Circa 1933.

There is hope in a multipolar🌎that the new President Zelensky, will lead Ukraine in a path ofSTABILITY PEACE &PROGRESS with a different Constructive political narrative.Poroshenko’s actions based in a Cold War&antagonistic position, withCountries that can be friends destructive
Who would have thought electing a sleazy opportunist would lead to chaos? borisjohnson toryleadership
Is this a joke..( I mean... being a comedian after all?)😳😳😳🤪😂🤣
Good god don’t give trump any ideas
I doubt Putin is thrilled! “But what sets Ukraine apart is that here we have free speech, media and Internet. that is why we know what Russian passport really means –
He's laughing his ass off now...
Wow, could not have guessed that would happen.
Comedian turns to dramaqueen. soapoera Ukraine can't be taken serious anylonger. Easy prey for Russia.
Parliament shmarliament...
I don’t know anything about Ukrainian government. How bad is this really?
Did he dissolve it completely?
Hard to believe. This worked so well in the US.
Drain the swamp
Hmmm ... where have we heard that before? 🤔
Well....that escalated quickly.
Another tv show clown gets into power to do Putin's bidding....what could possibly go wrong?
Oh my god
It appears congratulations are in order for PaulManafort Putin and Trump .. destroying the world, one nation at a time.. ImpeachmentHearingsNow
I wonder how “free and fair” this election was...
It seems this days that people want tv personalities for top goverment positions,it started with Trump and now is with Zelenskiy
Chaos is about to rule here. When one has no experience it shows. trump is a very good example and he drives the world in a chaotic manner!!!
From the television series 'Servant of the People' to the real role of President of Ukraine Congratulations on the rocking win zelensky !
Imagine we have a joker as President in Ukraine, a mysoginistic homophobe in the White House and the list goes on. What a truly troubling time we live in.
Ditch them. Flush them. New team.
Look at all the propaganda accounts going to work immediately. This Twitter user is a one month old Llama, who only comments on polarizing topics. This is how election interference works.
. Another tv star thinking they can run a country
Well, this seems like a problem
Probably not a good sign. We shall see I guess.
wyattllc thoughts?
That's what we need in the US and UK. For real.
