夏说英语新闻晨读 第580期:狂欢乌克兰 喜剧演员当总统（在线收听）

 本期内容：

On Sunday, Ukrainians overwhelmingly threw their support behind a political newcomer, actor and comedian Volodymyr Zelensky, to become the country's next President. After popping the champagne, Zelensky faces some serious tasks. Ukraine has been locked in a proxy war with Russia for five years, and the conflict has claimed around 13,000 lives in the country's east. The election results in Ukraine were greeted by Russia with what could be described as cautious hope for a reboot in relations.
