I found this on Wikipedia about Zelensky and by golly look what I discovered. This outlines how the Ukraine parliament fought back against Zelensky and refused to dismiss particular politicians. And while he said he was not involved in US elections, he did state Trump at no point put the brass knuckles to him. And he supports Trump. Time for Democrats to support the only president we have for over a year as we speak. Wikipedia is following. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volodymyr_Zelensky#Presidency Under a presidential decree signed on 21 May 2019, Zelensky appointed Deputy Foreign Minister Olena Zerkal as Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration.[67] However, a few hours later the text of the decree disappeared from the site of the president. According to Ukrayinska Pravda, Zerkal did agree to be the sole authorized representative of the international courts of Ukraine concerning Russia, but not to be a deputy head of the administration.[68] On 28 May, Zelensky restored the Ukrainian citizenship of Mikheil Saakashvili.[69] The day before, he visited the front line, where he examined positions around Luhansk and received reports from military commanders. On 3 June, Zelensky appointed former President Leonid Kuchma as the representative of Ukraine in the Tripartite Contact Group for a settlement in the Donbass Conflict.[70] The next day, he arrived in Brussels on his first official foreign visit as president, meeting with European Union and NATO officials, including Jens Stoltenberg, Jean Claude Juncker and Donald Tusk.[71][72][73][74] Zelensky's first major proposal to change the electoral system was rejected by the Ukrainian parliament.[75] The parliament also refused to approve Zelensky's dismissal of the country's Foreign Minister, Minister of Defence and Head of the SBU.[76] In addition, on 6 June, lawmakers refused to include Zelensky's key initiative on reintroducing criminal liability for illegal enrichment in the parliament's agenda, and instead included a similar bill proposed by a group of deputies.[77][78] In June 2019 it was announced that the president's third major initiative, which seeks to remove immunity from lawmakers, diplomats and judges, would be submitted after the July 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election.[79] U.S. Vice President Mike Pence and US delegation meets with Zelensky in Warsaw on 1 September 2019 Zelensky meets with U.S. President Donald Trump in New York City on 25 September 2019 On 11 June 2019, Zelensky dismissed the heads of 15 of Ukraine's oblasts (provinces) and the heads of the SBU (secret service) departments of five oblasts and asked parliament to remove the country's Prosecutor General from office.[80][81] On July 8, Zelensky ordered the cancellation of the annual Kiev Independence Day Parade on Maidan Nezalezhnosti, citing costs. Despite this, Zelensky highlighted that the day would "honor heroes" on Independence Day, however the "format will be new".[82][83][84] He also proposed to spend the money that would have been used to finance the parade on veterans.[85] On 11 July 2019, Zelensky held a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin following the former's appeals to the Russian leader to take part in talks with Ukraine, the United States, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom in Minsk.[86][87] The leaders also discussed the exchange of prisoners held by both sides.[87] In the 21 July 2019 parliamentary election, Zelensky's political party, Servant of the People, won the first single-party majority in modern Ukrainian history in parliament, with 43% of the party-list vote. His party gained 254 of the 424 seats.[88] In September 2019 it was reported that U.S. President Donald Trump had pressured Zelensky during a July phone call between the two Presidents to investigate alleged wrongdoing by Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden,[47][89] who took a board seat on Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings,[90][91] This report was the catalyst for the Trump–Ukraine scandal and the impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump. Zelensky has denied that he was pressured by Trump and declared that "he does not want to interfere in a foreign election."[92] --end for this report
