In the spring of 2018 Ukraine was already in election mode. The president and parliament that came to power in the tumult of 2014 will run for a new term in 2019 – the president in March; parliament in October. However, President Petro Poroshenko was currently trailing in fourth or fifth place in the polls. He also had the highest negative rating of any candidate: 45% of Ukrainians would not vote for him under any circumstances. Four years after Euromaidan, the overall picture was bleak. Former Prime Minister Yuliya Tymoshenko had established a lead in the polls – but she had done so by profiting from social and economic problems rather than addressing past faults. |
