Question of Zelensky: "Why do you all have two hands?"

Poroshenko's answer: “About the hands cut off for corruption, the position is the following: I am not the executioner and I am not a judge,” the current president says. He replies that he only creates conditions for the development of the country, honest courts and investigations.

“None of my friends have had or will have anything to do with corruption. And if there is any suspicion, he will cease to be my friend and will be in prison, ”said Poroshenko.

Question Poroshenko: “How is it to be a business partner of a person who has robbed a country? Will he cut off his hands? ” Poroshenko implied oligarch Igor Kolomoisky.

The second question Poroshenko: "What are your values? Where do you see Ukraine in 5 years? ”.

Answer Zelensky: Zelensky on the requirement to give an answer retorts that he is “not at the prosecutor’s.” “But you may have to be there,” adds the candidate.

He noted that he was on for one term.

"I am going to the presidency so that you and your friends through 5 have not been in politics for years."

Regarding Kolomoisky, Zelensky replied that everyone who would be convicted of wrongdoing would sit down.

Question of Zelensky: "Shame on you?". This was the last question Zelensky in a series of answers-questions.

Poroshenko's answer: “No, because I am proud of Ukraine!”

The last question Poroshenko in a series of answers-questions: “Are you ready to do everything to ensure that Kolomoisky and the regional team are excommunicated from state power and state resources?”

Zelnsky's answer: "Yes".

• Recall 31 March in Ukraine passed the first round presidential election. In total, the CEC of Ukraine registered record 39 candidates. The first round was won by Vladimir Zelensky, who scored more than 30% of votes. Poroshenko scored 15,93%.
• The debates of the candidates at the Olympic Stadium were scheduled to take place on April 14, but Zelensky did not come on them. Zelensky at this time was in Paris. Debate began without him. Petro Poroshenko delivered an introductory 5-minute speech and answered questions from journalists.
• Zelensky refused to debate at the 14 stadium in April, suggesting another date - April 19. Poroshenko’s headquarters responded that they were ready to come to the 19 stadium on April, but only from 16: 00 to 18: 00, since in 19: 00 the president will be at the debate on Public Television. According to the decision of the Central Election Commission, the official debates should be held in the studio of Public Television 19 on April at 19: 00, therefore the debates at the stadium will be considered unofficial. But in the end, after contacting the CEC, the Poroshenko team declared its readiness to meet with Zelensky at the "Olympic" 19 in April at 19: 00.
• Poroshenko and Zelensky earlier argued about the place and time of the debate on the live television channel "1 + 1". Poroshenko personally came to the studio, and Zelensky talked to him on the phone from Paris. The President of Ukraine invited his rival to the debate at the April 14 Stadium. Zelensky said that they had previously agreed on another date - April 19, when they should pass the official debates of the candidates stipulated by law. Zelensky did not listen to his opponent’s objections and hung up.
• 9 of April representatives of the CEC and NOTU stated that the official television debates between presidential candidates Petro Poroshenko and Vladimir Zelensky were scheduled for 20: 00 19 of April. Their cost will be 5 million 766 thousand UAH (almost $ 216 000).
• The second round of elections will take place on April 21.
• Team candidates. Poroshenko promised in case of re-election to replenish his team with "young, new people" and no longer appoint "no business partners, no close people."
• Until the last moment, one of the main complaints about Zelensky was that he did not disclose the composition of his team. But before the debate, he finally announced the list of people he plans to appoint if elected. The most famous of them - Alexander Danilyuk, who for two years was Minister of Finance under Poroshenko. He will be responsible for foreign, financial and banking policies. Others are either former officials holding secondary posts, or university professors and scholars, mostly lawyers.
