Zelensky recalled that Poroshenko invited him to work on the Ukrainian "Channel 5". According to Zelensky, he did not go there because he is a “free man.”
He also said that the Ukrainian president cannot be an oligarch, since the head of state "must be with the people."
“The main question is whether the previous authority, including you, will incur criminal liability. Will you be in court saying that it is revenge or political persecution, ”he said.
In turn, Poroshenko called on Zelensky to apologize to journalists of Channel 5.
Poroshenko noted that Zelensky - "a good artist, perhaps a good man."
“Today it’s not a cat in a bag, but a bright wrapper that covers those who escaped from Ukraine in 2013 and now wants to return under this wrapper and take revenge,” he said.
He stated that he would not allow "cats in a bag and with wrappers to destroy the country."
Earlier, Zelensky said he was going to go to the presidents of Ukraine for one term.
