The Zelensky administration has failed to make meaningful strides at tackling corruption; in fact, earlier this year the SoP-controlled parliament dismissed a widely respected Prosecutor General known for tackling graft inside his agency. And while he succeeded in completing several rounds of prisoner exchange with Russian-backed forces in eastern Ukraine, Zelensky has made no other significant diplomatic breakthrough. Crimea remains firmly in Russia’s grasp.
