Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelensky
(born 25 January 1978) is a
Ukrainian
politician, screenwriter, actor, comedian, and director who was elected
President of Ukraine in the
2019 Ukrainian presidential election.
Prior to his political career, he obtained a degree in law and created a
production company,
Kvartal 95, which produces films, cartoons and TV comedy shows.[2]
Kvartal 95 created a television series called
Servant of the People, in which Zelensky played the role of President of
Ukraine. The series aired from 2015 to 2019. A
namesake
political party bearing the same name as the television show was created in
March 2018 by employees of Kvartal 95.[3][4]
Zelensky announced his candidacy on the eve of 31 December 2018, upstaging the
New Year's Eve address of President
Petro Poroshenko on
1+1 TV Channel.[5]
Six months before Zelensky announced his candidacy, he was already one of the
frontrunners in
opinion polls for the election.[6][7][4]
Zelensky won the election with 73.22% of the vote, defeating incumbent Petro
Poroshenko.[8]

April 22: Ukrainian comedian Volodymyr
Zelensky has scored a landslide victory in the country's presidential election.
With nearly all ballots counted in the run-off vote, Mr Zelensky had taken more
than 73% with incumbent Petro Poroshenko trailing far behind on 24%.
"I will never let you down," Mr Zelensky told celebrating supporters.
Russia says it wants him to show "sound judgement", "honesty" and "pragmatism"
so that relations can improve. Russia backs separatists in eastern Ukraine.

May 16:
Before he was
elected president of Ukraine last month, Volodymyr Zelensky played a
president in a comedy show on television. The owner of that television station,
Ihor Kolomoisky, returned on Thursday from self-imposed exile, raising fears
that he may now ask the real president to return some favors.
Under the departing president, Petro O. Poroshenko, the Ukrainian government had
nationalized a bank co-owned by Mr. Kolomoisky and accused him of siphoning off
millions of dollars in fraudulent loans.
The Ukrainian government took over the bank, PrivatBank, in the course of a
$5.6 billion bailout at a time when lending by the International Monetary
Fund, the European Union and the United States was propping up the government.
While the bailout was seen as necessary, the extraordinary cost of what the
Ukrainian central bank called Mr. Kolomoisky’s mismanagement became Exhibit A
for Western governments in the risk of financially supporting Ukraine despite
widespread corruption.
