Now that he’s given a few of them some of the most powerful positions in the country, all they can do is complain. You can’t blame him: after his surprise election to the highest office in Ukraine, this former history teacher has had to contend with friends, relatives and acquaintances begging him for jobs and special favours. He gets the sedative treatment, too.īy the time a friend-turned-fourth minister arrives, the president has had it: “What the hell do you want from me?” he snaps. Finally, his friend and minister of international relations charges in after botching a press conference on a Ugandan uprising. He offers her a swig of sedative and sends her on her way.
Soon, his newly appointed finance minister – who is also his ex-wife – marches in, complaining about the problem she’s facing: a bank has gone under, and she can’t decide whether to give the patrons their money back. As he screams about contending with the generals he’s now in charge of, the president calmly offers him a swig of sedative and sends him on his way. The Ukrainian president’s office has become a comedy of errors: in marches his newly appointed defence minister, who is an old friend in over his head and hysterical under the pressure of having to cut the military budget.
