Comedian Vladimir Zelenskiy looked set to edge out President Petro Poroshenko in the first round of Ukraine’s presidential election Sunday, setting the stage for a decisive run-off in three weeks
KIEV — Comedian Vladimir Zelenskiy looked set to edge out President Petro Poroshenko in the first round of Ukraine’s presidential election Sunday, setting the stage for a decisive run-off between the two in three weeks.
Poroshenko described his second place finish as a “hard lesson.” Zelenskiy told supporters he was “very happy,” but cautioned that the campaign wasn’t over. That frustration opened the door to Zelenskiy, whose only brush with Ukrainian politics has been to play the president in a television show called “Servant of the People,” a popular satire about a teacher who wins the country’s highest office.
