From Democracy Digest:

Ukraine has overwhelmingly voted for fundamental change and is now led by people who are committed to making their country a modern democracy committed to liberty and the rule of law, notes Konstantin Sonin, a professor at the University of Chicago’s Harris School of Public Policy and an adjunct professor at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow.

The challenges that Volodymyr Zelensky faces are enormous, yet he has demonstrated his commitment to reform, with sweeping personnel changes taking place at all levels of government, he writes for Project Syndicate:

Oleksiy Honcharuk, the new prime minister, is 35 years old and, like Zelensky, has never served in government. The minister of economic development, Timofiy Mylovanov, is a former professor of economics at the University of Pittsburgh and current president of the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE), a small university that has established itself as a leader in economics education in Ukraine.
