It's a joke, right?
The Ukraine elected a comedian as president.

Yes, it is a joke and the vote itself could be seen as a protest vote. The punchline is that he acted the part of President in a Ukraine tv series.
I think I got that right.

He might be a joker but there is no way he is a bigger joke than Poroshenko. Zelenskii, who is Jewish, has openly declared his support for Nazi death squads and has called the citizens of the Lugansk People's Republic and the Donetsk People's Republic 'scum.' Zelenskii openly praised the National Socialist war criminal Stepan Bandera.
Unlike his predecessor, Zelenskii is actually intelligent, articulate, and most importantly sober. The country will most likely improve under his presidency.
The circus show that was the Ukrainian elections should prove conclusively that the Ukraine is a fake country and that the citizens of the DPR and LPR need to be reunified with their brothers and sisters in Russia.

Well he might be a joker, maybe he is just an expression of the Ukraine's frustration. The problem being of course that this is no time to joke around.

Moscow's reaction from Moscow Times: https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2019/04/ ... lin-a65325 Volodymyr Zelenskiy, a comedian and actor with no political experience, swept to victory on Sunday in the second round of Ukraine’s presidential election, in a race that has fascinated the country’s looming neighbor to the north.
The victory triggered speculation in Russia on Sunday that relations between the neighboring countries might improve. It also presented a moment of hope for Russia’s opposition politicians regarding the country’s next presidential elections, in 2024.
“To all citizens of post-Soviet countries: Look at us,” Zelenskiy said in his victory speech on Sunday evening. “Anything is possible.”

Hey, if Boris Johnson can play a foreign minister any other clown can play a president.
