“Servant of the People” is a Ukrainian political comedy and satirical series starring Vladimir Zelensky, history teacher Vasil Petrovich Kholoborodko, who was unexpectedly elected President of Ukraine.
After his students shared his obscene deception about government corruption and launched a viral campaign to raise funds for his presidential candidacy, Holoborodko (Zelenski) was unknowingly crowned president.
The show, created by an actor who became politician Zelenski, was broadcast for three seasons from October 2015 to March 2019. It was broadcast on Netflix and on local and Belarusian television channels.
Just two months later, Zelensky himself won 73.2% of the vote and would be elected president of Ukraine after running for an anti-corruption ticket.
On Twitter, to describe a “new page in the history of our countries”, President Zelenski pointed to the growing support from EU leaders in recent days as the Russian invasion of his country came to a halt.
As Twitter to describe “a new page in the history of our countries”, President Zelenski pointed to the growing support from EU leaders in recent days, when the Russian invasion of his country was at a standstill.
“This is the beginning of a new page in the history of our countries … Ukraine must become part of the EU,” the Ukrainian leader said last week.
He later added: “Ukraine is fighting the invader with weapons in hand, defending its freedom and its European future.”
Zelensky’s call came after a series of talks with senior EU officials, including Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, French President Emmanuel Macron, European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
EU officials have dashed Ukraine’s hopes that its sudden accession to the EU could help it better withstand the Russian offensive and speed up military, financial and political support.
This comes after the comments of the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen seem to hold back the prospect of Ukraine’s adoption.
“They are one of us and we want them to be present,” she told Euronews on Sunday, stressing existing co-operation between the EU and Ukraine.
Following this development on Monday, Vladimir Zelensky called on the European Union “for Ukraine’s immediate accession through a new special procedure”.
But Ms von der Layen’s spokeswoman backed away from her previous statement, saying she meant Europe “as a whole” and is already in the process of joining the bloc.
This view was reiterated by European Council President Charles Michel, who said there were long-standing differences between EU countries over the accession of new members.
