We are in the age of Trump when ALL things ARE possible…
A country that the Russians have wanted to annex….
Will be led by a guy who played the President….
Maybe I should run in 2020?
Comedian Volodymyr Zelensky, who plays president on a popular television show, has defeated incumbent President Petro Poroshenko with more than 70% of the vote to win Ukraine’s presidential election, according to exit polls.
The big picture: This was Ukraine’s first presidential election without a clear pro-Kremlin candidate, reflecting a shift for a country that has been increasingly drawn toward the West since the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014. Zelensky, who lacked any sort of a formal campaign, has promised that as a fresh face on the political scene, he can shepherd lasting structural change that career politicians cannot.
