Ukrainians are casting ballots in a presidential election that follows a campaign marred by vicious political infighting and allegations of bribing of voters. Many political observers have described Ukraine’s election campaign as a battle between Mr Kolomoyskyi and Mr Poroshenko, who was on Forbes Magazine’s list of billionaires in 2014 before dropping off the following year. Both the president and Mr Kolomoyskyi have relied on an arsenal of media outlets under their control to exchange blows. Just days before the vote, Mr Kolomoyskyi’s TV channel aired a new season of the Servant Of The People” TV series starring Mr Zelenskiy as Ukraine’s leader.
