Ukraine vote winner Zelensky promises: ‘Everything is possible’

Kiev (AFP) – Comedian Volodymyr Zelensky, who won a landslide victory in Ukraine’s presidential election on Sunday, told his supporters he would not let them down and encouraged other-post Soviet countries to bring new leaders to power.

“I will never let you down,” the 41-year-old TV star said at his campaign headquarters after the results of exit polls were published.

“While I am not formally president yet, as a citizen of Ukraine I can tell all post-Soviet countries: ‘Look at us! Everything is possible!’”
