Ukraine expected to inaugurate comedian Zelensky as state president

His inauguration ceremony comes just days after the coalition in Ukraine has dissolved after Zelensky announced he intends to organise early elections.

Under the Ukrainian constitution, parliament has 30 days to form the new coalition government, while the president has no right to launch the early elections process during that time.

During his campaign, Zelensky promised to fight corruption, as well as end the conflict between pro-Russian separatists and government forces east of Ukraine. As a result of this conflict, which began in 2014, some 13,000 people have died.

We remember that 41-year-old former Romanian, mostly known for his role as president in a television show, has won presidential elections held on April 21st, with more than 73 per cent of the vote
