Zelensky's Fight for Ukraine's Democracy: Progress, Peace, and Challenges

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's leadership during the war with Russia has boosted his popularity and garnered support from the majority of Ukrainians. However, challenges lie ahead as Zelensky must rebuild Ukraine's cities, infrastructure, and democracy after the war. He needs to address the country's tendency towards corruption and patronage networks, foster an inclusive sense of patriotism, and respect the Ukrainian constitution. The war has also highlighted the importance of civic duty and attachment to the country, but there is a risk of exclusive ethnocultural nationalism gaining traction. Zelensky's ability to navigate these challenges will determine the future of Ukraine's democracy.
