From RFE/RL correspondent Christopher Miller in Kyiv:
Volodymyr Zelenskiy, emerging from a black van dressed in a blue suit, white T-shirt, and dark sunglasses, was met by a crowd of journalists as he arrived at the Kyiv Martime Academy to vote on Sunday morning.
Asked by RFE/RL what would be the first issues he would take on if elected president, he answered, "The war and corruption."
As he cast his ballot, Zelenskiy said his wife, who accompanied him to the polling station, had put him in a good mood ahead of time by playing him a song by American rapper Eminem, although he couldn't remember the song. "It went like..." he said, trailing off and bobbing his head.
After being asked who he voted for, Zelenskiy chuckled and dodged the question. "Today will be a victory for Ukrainians, a victory for Ukraine...We have united Ukraine," he said.
