Ukrainian politicians are finding it increasingly challenging to win votes from among the young.
Compared to their elders they are better plugged in to social networks online and the information accessible there. In the capital Kyiv, students from all over the country are invited to take part in a weekly televised meet-the-candidates discussion.
Student Andriy Zasadnyuk shared his impression with euronews, saying: “I see some really independent candidates, especially among those running individually, but very few of them. Those politicians and parties that promote themselves as cutting edge have never been in government or parliament before, and basically they are no different from anyone else. I do not see them offering new ideas, and that’s frightening.”
