Honestly? Under the circumstances, I’d say he’s an outstanding president overall.

And what would you say his primary qualifications and experience were before his election?

Well, he’s not a billionaire, unlike his predecessor. I generally view rich people in politics negatively as a rule.

That said: I do think Poroshenko did as well as he could, considering he was elected after Russia invaded the Donbas in response to Ukraine revolting and throwing his super Russia-friendly predecessor (who “won” the election with a lot of Russian help, hence the revolt) out.
