The apparent landslide victory of Volodymyr Zelenskiy, 41, is a bitter blow for incumbent Petro Poroshenko who tried to rally Ukrainians around the flag by casting himself as a bulwark against Russian aggression and a champion of Ukrainian identity.
Two national exit polls showed Zelenskiy had won 73 percent of the vote with Poroshenko winning just 25 percent. Early voting data suggested the polls were accurate.
Zelenskiy, who plays a fictitious president in a popular TV series, is now poised to take over the leadership of a country on the frontline of the West’s standoff with Russia following Moscow’s annexation of Crimea and support for a pro-Russian insurgency in eastern Ukraine.
Declaring victory at his campaign headquarters to emotional supporters, Zelenskiy promised he would not let the Ukrainian people down.
“I’m not yet officially the president, but as a citizen of Ukraine, I can say to all countries in the post-Soviet Union look at us. Anything is possible!”
European Council President Donald Tusk congratulated Zelenskiy, as did French President Emmanuel Macron and British foreign minister Jeremy Hunt.
Zelenskiy, whose victory fits a pattern of anti-establishment figures unseating incumbents in Europe and further afield, has promised to end the war in the eastern Donbass region and to root out corruption amid widespread dismay over rising prices and sliding living standards.

great news.Poroshenko who tried to rally Ukrainians around the flag by casting himself as a bulwark against Russian aggression and a champion of Ukrainian identity.
Poroshenko had already dragged us into Black Sea exercises, and was intent on bringing NATO into Ukraine's back door.

An inexperienced comedian with ZERO policies was elected president in the Ukraine.
And HE will still be a million times better than the fucking orange clown currently playing golf in Florida.
i dont know anything about him but all i know is the right people hate him so hes probably good.

So? The USA put in a CLOWN from a reality show who called himself a businessman with a HISTORY of bankruptcies and FRAUD. Let's hope it turns out better for them! The $64 question is will/can he STAND UP to Putin.
DID PUTIN "meddle" or even RUN THIS ELECTION? Does anyone know?

why don't you do some research instead of mouthing off?
But you miss the dynamic already -even with the Ukraine much more pro Kyiv now ( with Crimea electorally gone)
that faction just can't run on hating Russia.
In fact this guy promises reforms to corruption, and PEACE WITH RUSSIA over Donbass..
I won't even go into how bad the US is under Trump ( peace and prosperity)
farce your are peddling

Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".
