So I listened to a video of Tet’yana Mont’yan, a Ukrainian lawyer and blogger, and she explained that Ihor Kolomoysky (aka. Benya) is the real winner of the Ukrainian presidential elections. But better yet she tells us, who Kolomoysky is…
I translate:
Do not forget that Benya is fully responsible for the Maidan, and the House of Unions in Odessa (events of 2 May 2014), and the atrocities committed by volunteer battalions that he sponsored. Benya promised to pay 10 kilo tuns of bucks ($10,000) for a Moskal (a Russian). He called Putin, a “dwarf” and a “schizophrenic”. And by the irony of fate, Putin might have to shake hands with Zelensky, a hologram created by Kolomoysky.
The $10,000 for a Mokal billboard was apparently Fake News, but Boris Filatov, currently the Mayor of Dnepropetrovsk, really did offer the reward of $10,000 for every “green man” as the Russian volunteers and intervening forces in Crimea and the East of Ukraine have been called.

But I digress, Putler has yet to recognise Zelensky, and the question is “Will he?” I think he should not recognise the Ukrainian government, on the basis that Ukrainians in Russia have been prevented from voting.
