A Ukranian comedian just won the presidential election, according to exit polls. Some are concerned about his lack of experience

Valentyn Ogirenko/Reuters Volodymyr Zelensky, a comedian with no political experience, has won Ukraine's presidential election, according to national exit polls released Sunday. Zelensky's campaign caught international attention because he was previously known as the star of "Servant of the People," in which he plays a teacher who is elected president of Ukraine. Though he captured the anti-establishment vote from citizens frustrated with rampant corruption surrounding incumbent Petro Poroshenko, some are concerned his inexperience and lack of commitment to specific policies could be a weakness with nearby powers including Russia's Vladimir Putin.
