Button-pressing and Failed Promises

From November 20 to 23, 2018, Yelenskyi was caught pressing multiple voting buttons three times. He fulfilled exactly half of his promises. In particular, he failed the promise that the "People's Front" would do everything possible for the Anti-Corruption Court to begin work by May 2018.

Attack in Georgia and Family Nepotism

On June 19, 2019, during an official delegation in Georgia, Russian deputies attacked Yelenskyi. His son, Yevhenii, worked as an assistant to People's Front MP Dmytro Stetsenko. His declaration includes two apartments in Kyiv, a Lexus RX 330 registered to his wife, and over UAH 870,000 in cash.
