Sorry, that’s a lie.

Zelenskyy’s platform was arguably less pro Western than that of most of his contenders. His platform was mostly being the political outsider who’d fight corruption without too much focus on chosing sides between Russia and the West. He would indeed lean to the West but it was not the focal point of his agenda.

The top 5 candidates for the presidential election in 2019 were

5: Anatoliy Hrytsenko (6,91%), former member of Tymoshenko administration and head of the pro-European “Civil Position” Party.

4: Yuriy Boyko (11,67%), a pro-Russian candidate.

3: Yulia Tymoshenko (13.40%), former Prime Minister, thrown in jail on bogus claims under the Pro-Russian Rule of Yanukovich, clearly no friend of Russia.

2: Petro Poroshenko (15.95%), incumbent president at the time with a clear pro-European platform .

1: Volodymyr Zelenskyy (30.24%),

As you can see, the pro Russian sent was at max 12% of the electorate.

And Poroshenko would have been the wests preferred candidate.

In Donetsk and Luhansk, rather the non occupied parts of the Donbas Yuriy Boyko, the most pro-Russian of all the major candidates got a plurality of the vote, but interestingly, even there, the overall vote was split roughly 50–50 between Pro-Russia and Pro-Europe candidates.
