“Poroshenko’s consultants understand that he lost the debate at the stadium ... Petr Alekseevich decided once again to make the move that, according to his political strategists, would allow him to somehow increase his rating and reduce his lead over Zelensky,” the deputy said.

Vodolatsky noted that at the moment the current president’s long backlog from the second candidate is underlined by fatigue from Poroshenko’s policy in Ukraine.

Earlier in Kiev, the debate ended Petro Poroshenko and Vladimir Zelensky.

Candidates for the presidency of Ukraine spent an hour at the Olympic Stadium, after which Poroshenko came to the studio of the public TV channel UA: First.
