Better relations with Russia.
You know how he won that election?
Unlike Poroshenko he spoke Russian and he said he would meet with Putin, so the east voted for him.
It's the only reason why they voted for the comedian. Hell his opponents assumed he was the Russian spoiler candidate.
He ran on anti-corruption ticket (which is what his TV show was about, you know, the one he named his political party after) and his overtures towards Putin were designed to end the Donbas conflict. There were to be withdrawals of Russian troops, prisoner exchanges and then general elections in the contested region to decide if they would come under Russian rule or remain in Ukraine.
He was massively popular as a candidate well before he even nominated himself and this was because his campaign was very populist and based on "draining the swamp".
