The Wall Street Journal's editorial board has said the new political elite in Ukraine will have to move quickly to improve the rule of law, privatize more state-owned enterprises, and liberalize property law. Corruption retards growth more than the war does.
The editorial appearing on July 22, 2019 says few in Zelensky’s party have much policy experience.
He may prefer ruling alone, but the country would be better off with veteran reformers and the Voice party, another insurgent political force, helping to run the government.
According to the WSJ, Russia's President Vladimir Putin fears nothing more than a strong, democratic and prosperous Ukraine as a model for his own citizens. The editorial ends with a message urging the U.S. to keep standing with Ukraine country as its unconventional leader tries to make good on his promises.
