  Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says corruption - a chronic problem in the country that has been cast into the background by the war against Russia - will not be tolerated, promising key decisions to quash it this week.
  Mr Zelenskyy's pledge came amid allegations of senior-level corruption, including a report of dubious practices in military procurement despite officials promoting national unity to confront the invasion.
  Elected by a landslide in 2019 on pledges to change the way the ex-Soviet state was governed, Mr Zelenskyy said his government had accepted the resignation of a deputy minister after an investigation into allegations he accepted a bribe.

  Why can't the major English speaking news outlets agree on how to spell this man's name? >
  
  Because Ukrainian doesn't use the same set of alphabets and mapping that back to extended Latin script is not standardized to one set of rules (There are a few IIRC) >
  
  My question was why can't the major English speaking news outlets (which do all use the same alphabet) agree on which arrangement of English alphabet letters to use.
  I've seen Zelenskiy, Zelenskyy, Zelensky, Zelenskiye, and a couple others. Why can't all of the people who publish English news just pick one of them (any of them) and stick with it?
