42. Reading up and down replies to this OP, a number of us have made some effort to offer you information

If we haven't tried harder, maybe it's because, rightly or wrongly, we suspect your time on DU may not be long.

I couldn't tell you what "percentage of Ukraine agrees with him about Zelensky" because you may be able to grasp that accurate polling is rather difficult to conduct in the present circumstances.

It's irrelevant at the moment anyway because Zelensky has sufficient (in fact, overwhelming) support in Ukraine's parliament to continue as leader, and Ukraine's constitution expressly forbids elections being held under conditions of martial law, a state of law that has been repeatedly overwhelmingly supported in the six times it's been voted for renewal by the parliament since it was initially declared.

Instead, assuming (perhaps foolishly) that you're genuinely curious, I'll offer you a brief, incomplete course in background reading:

Once you've read through all that, I'll risk blowing your mind by revealing that Klitchko has a younger brother who's also been a professional boxer of some renown and is his spitting image.
