Comedian set to win Ukraine election

A 41-year-old comedian with no political experience looks set to become Ukraine's new President in the country's first election since the 2014 revolution, which sparked an ongoing war in the east. The first round of voting revealed the scale of support for Volodymyr Zelenskiy, but many in the community here in Australia have labelled him 'Ukraine's Donald Trump,' and are worried about where he could take the country.
