The actor shared his political views and talked about what he thinks of the president now
Actor Andrey Isaenko admitted that he did not vote for Zelensky in the elections. He considered him a weak candidate, but the full-scale invasion forced him to change his views.
He spoke about this in an interview with RBC-Ukraine.

What Isaenko said about Zelensky
The actor does not hide that he had a skeptical attitude towards the president.
“I was skeptical about him. I didn’t choose him, I didn’t vote for him. At that time, before 2022, I didn’t consider him a strong president,” he admitted.
Andrey’s opinion of the president changed after he demonstrated his capabilities in the context of the full-scale invasion.
“Gradually, my opinion changed, but for the better. He is a different person. He has really changed for all of Ukraine for the better. And he is doing everything he can for Ukraine right now,” he said.

The actor is not afraid to share his political views.
“Well, what should I be afraid of? These are my personal views. I didn’t vote for him. I was openly a Porokhobot back then. I admit it. I expressed my current opinion,” he noted.
Andrey believes that if the president can change opinions about himself, it means he is doing a good job.
“If my opinion has changed, then he is a good president. Unfortunately, the circumstances are not what I would have liked for this opinion to change, but it is what it is,” he added.

At the same time, according to the actor, the greatest contribution to the development of Ukrainian cinema and culture was made during the presidency of Petro Poroshenko.
“If we talk about the revival of Ukrainian cinema, it happened during Poroshenko’s presidency. More money started to be allocated for films. There were competitions, a lot of content appeared from 2014 to 2019. It was still a ‘boom’,” he noted.
However, Isaenko believes that Viktor Yushchenko could have been the best president, but one political figure hindered him.
“Yushchenko would have been the best president if he hadn’t had that Yulia by his side. He is a wonderful economist, as far as I know, and maybe everything would have been fine if he hadn’t succumbed to the influence of that woman,” he said.
