Volodymyr Zelenskyy vowed to speed up reforms when he was sworn in a year ago. The 42-year-old said in Wednesday's address on in the occasion of the first year in power that he would need a second term to carry out his campaign promise.
A banner rolled out on the fence near Independence Square, the epicenter of the 2014 revolt, read "The Year of Zelenskyy � the Year of Revanche." Ukrainians have come to associate "revanche" with the return of the old guard that they had vowed to oust.
