I will take the promises from Zelensky&#8217;s program. And I will hardly comment &#8211; comment for yourself. You will simply be amazed at the lies he went to the elections with and what reality he led to. So, let&#8217;s begin:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> &#8220;I want to assure you right away &#8211; I am running for one term to change the system for the sake of the future&#8221; &#8211; now he is already talking about a second term, and what a corrupt and authoritarian system he has built, Yanukovych is jealous.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;I will not trade principles, reputation, or the country for the sake of maintaining power. I will be honest and loyal to Ukraine and hand it over to a new generation of politicians.&#8221; \u2013 Zelensky is doing everything to clear out competitors, no matter old or new, and all his actions indicate his intention to maintain power at any cost.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The State is for Man, not Man for the State. Respect for human dignity should become the basic principle in the activities of the state.&#8221; &#8211; I will simply remain silent here, you can see everything for yourself<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Reforms should have a positive impact on every person, not on ten families.&#8221; &#8211; Mindich, Chernyshov, Yermak, Tatarov, Shurma, Galushchenko, the Shefir brothers are laughing wildly at this point.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Justice is the basis of trust in society. No trust \u2013 no state.&#8221; \u2013 the level of trust in state institutions responsible for law and justice is one of the lowest in all years<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;No &#8220;crusts&#8221;, no &#8220;telephone rights&#8221; &#8211; this is the laughing stock of everyone who has even slightly come into contact with Zelensky&#8217;s vertical.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/seven-out-of-five-years-of-simplicity\/\">Seven out of five years of \u201csimplicity\u201d<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> &#8220;The judicial branch of power should become the Government, not a servant of the President, the government, the Parliament, local authorities. We will restore trust and respect for the court.&#8221; &#8211; yeah, in seven years, thousands of people have clearly felt who the judicial branch actually serves. The cases against Chervinsky, combat generals and other military, politicians and activists will prove that everything happened exactly the opposite.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We must win peace for Ukraine. We will raise the issue of supporting Ukraine in its efforts to end the war, return the temporarily occupied territories and force the aggressor to compensate for the damage caused. The surrender of national interests and territories cannot be the subject of any negotiations.&#8221; &#8211; comments are superfluous here. Reread this paragraph with kebabs, just like May<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The professional army should become a school of leadership and freedom. The army should be a prestigious service, where the acquired skills and knowledge will be successfully applied in the real sector of the economy. The army budget should cease to be a &#8220;feeding trough&#8221; for &#8220;cabinet generals&#8221;, and should ensure decent conditions of service and the development of a soldier.&#8221; &#8211; initially the army budget was diverted to roads, from where the funds flew into the pockets of those close to Zelensky&#8217;s &#8220;great construction&#8221;. And eggs for 17, jackets and other shameful purchases became proof of the lie<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Ukraine&#8217;s movement towards NATO and other similar associations is a guarantee of our security, which I believe in and which must be confirmed through an all-Ukrainian referendum. My task is to ensure that the salaries of military personnel are at the level of NATO standards.&#8221; &#8211; it&#8217;s good that he strives for NATO in words, but for almost 4 years he has not raised the salaries of military personnel despite repeated demands.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" data-right>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/a-series-without-a-happy-ending-did-zelenskyys-election-promises-come-true\/\">A series without a happy ending: did Zelenskyy&#8217;s election promises come true?<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> &#8220;Law enforcement agencies must stop engaging in economic pressure on business and return to fulfilling their direct duties of ensuring the safety of citizens. It is time to restore the trust in law enforcement agencies that we nurtured at the beginning of the reform. The SBU will not engage in economic crimes&#8221; &#8211; \u2026<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The main goal of my activity is a wealthy Ukrainian. Our choice is an economy focused on the needs of every citizen. All these years, the authorities have artificially created a situation in which it was practically impossible for an entrepreneur to honestly do business in Ukraine. Therefore, we will introduce a one-time &#8220;zero declaration&#8221; for business. Every businessman will be able to declare and legalize his income for 5%. The funds received will go to reduce the tariff burden for the poor. Having passed the &#8220;economic purgatory&#8221;, everyone will have a chance to honestly do business in the country in the future.&#8221; &#8211; even during the time of Yanukovych, business was not under such pressure as it is now<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Thou shalt not steal!&#8221; is the main commandment in the fight against corruption. Zero tolerance for corruption at all levels. A suspect in corruption will not be released on bail. A person convicted of corruption will receive confiscation of property and a lifetime ban from holding public office. A whistleblower of corruption will be under the protection of the state and will receive material incentives. I myself did not steal and I will not let anyone do it!&#8221; &#8211; corruption suspects Yermak and Chernyshov, who were released on bail, are laughing loudly about this point, and Mindich abroad is even louder, especially about &#8220;I myself did not steal and I will not let anyone do it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The newly established anti-corruption bodies and the High Anti-Corruption Court will receive maximum state support for the effective performance of their tasks.&#8221; &#8211; the attempt to abolish the independence of the NABU and the SAPO fits precisely into this promise.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Honest officials will receive guaranteed decent salaries, open competitions for positions, high social status, and state insurance.&#8221; &#8211; received appointments to the board of their own for the position of Prosecutor General or to supervisory boards.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/what-s-the-difference-as-a-formula-for-unfreedom-have-ukrainians-finally-realized-the-difference\/\">What\u2019s the Difference?\u2019: A Convenient Shortcut to Unfreedom<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> &#8220;The professions of doctor and teacher should become prestigious and highly paid. Hospitals and schools will receive modern equipment, update their infrastructure. We will reduce the administrative superstructure of the healthcare and education system.&#8221; &#8211; there are simply no words here, exactly the opposite.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Ukraine should become a country where everyone is comfortable and cozy. Young people &#8211; high-quality education, employment, space for self-realization. We will restore youth housing lending programs. Young entrepreneurs &#8211; state support and a year of preferential taxation. The older generation &#8211; decent pension provision.&#8221; &#8211; even with the adjustment for the war, everything turned out to be a lie even before the full-scale invasion, because government programs worked only for the very chosen ones, I&#8217;m not talking about pensions at all<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;For equal development of the regions, we will stop concentrating central authorities in Kyiv. The authorities should see problems on the ground, and not from the windows of their Kyiv offices. This will improve the development of the regions and provide a chance for employment locally.&#8221; &#8211; as a result, constant attempts to return power to central authorities and attack decentralization<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We will create conditions so that people who have traveled around the world will want to return home. We must replace &#8220;I want to leave&#8221; with &#8220;I want to return.&#8221; &#8211; no comments, you can see everything for yourself<\/p>\n<p> The only thing that has been accomplished is digitalization. In seven years.
