Not much is known about his foreign policy except that he is mainly pro-Western, wants Ukraine to enter the European Union, and would seek NATO membership for his country — all positions that didn’t separate him much from Poroshenko.
Not exactly pro-Russian.
So much for him being anti-corruption and anti-establishment. Either that or he's really fucking naive and knows nothing about politics and who is who.
“There’s been a desire for a new face for a long time,” Melinda Haring, a Ukraine expert at the Atlantic Council in Washington, DC, told me before the election. “It was clear the people wanted someone without the same baggage and connections to political dinosaurs.”
I'm not sure if The Atlantic Council approves of him, but if they do then that's not a good thing. They are pro-corrupt establishment/American. They despise Russia.
The second, and more important, is just how close he is to a Ukrainian oligarch: Igor Kolomoisky.
Zelensky’s show appeared on Kolomoisky’s TV channel, and the billionaire has long been a Poroshenko rival. Some worry that the comedian may simply be a tool of another Ukrainian fat cat trying to wield power, a charge Zelensky denies.

I'm not so sure the new president isn't pro-West. I read something that I'm trying to find that suggests so.
