Possibly you know that Zelensky was selected by the people of the Ukraine. But if you think so, why do you think that way? Do you know where the votes really came from? Did you watch the people vote? Did you count the votes? Or are you only believing what the government tells you?
Zelensky got 13 millions of votes (73,22 %), it was been streamed online, when votes was been calculated:

There is so many fakes from both sides, since 2014, because of information-war. But it was been a civil-war, or moreover hybrid-war with Russia, because russia supporting separatists. Separatism is criminal, because Ukraine is unitary state, by constitution, and anyone know this.
Khuilo, at 2014-th year, just decided to take few regions per few year, to keep his ratings at high levels.
Crimea, and ORDLO... 8 years of hight rating. Now, the part of Zaporizhska and Khersonska regions...
Simple and primitive: forced occupation of ukrainian regions, and "referendum" then, under the muzzle of guns.
But this can works, in the case, if Ukraine was been federation. But Ukraine - it's unitary state, and it's wrote in constitution, in Article 2.
One more thing... Donbass people was been interested to ask russianians supporting (yeap it's betray of people Ukraine), because Arbuzov must to replace Yanukovich, at 2014-th year.
But The Verkhovna Rada was been selected Turchinov, at 2014-th, with overwhelming majority votes, and he ATO, against separatism and against the russianians terrorists.
Time checking show anyone, why Khuilo take a Crimea. Just to stole a Fleet of the USSR, then betrayed a people of USSR,
and to shooting on Ukraine, by using bombs and rokets.
Another regions did not want such shit, and had the peace, because of this.
Even Zelensky, who has not been in office all that long, admits that the Ukraine has been at war with Donbas for 8 years.
Donbass - it's Ukraine, by constitution.
The borders were demarked. Ukraine ready to work with ukrainian enterprises, there. But terrorists in ORDLO was been a problem for this works.
Even the biased-in-favor-of-Ukraine, US news media shows a lot of interesting things that show that Ukrainian people are not all that in favor of Zelensky.
I see 93% of supporting Zelensky:
