“I don't like being insulted. And since I am not yet a president, I can afford to be myself until the end. I believe that during these five years Poroshenko did everything to prevent our country from developing, ”he said, commenting on the squabble with Poroshenko on the“ 1 + 1 ”channel.
At the same time, he noted that for many years he has been a very famous person and always takes photos and talks with people.
“I always hear about my shortcomings, never rude. This man (Poroshenko. - RT ) said so many times that I am a puppet and a drug addict, that I have no respect for him. I have respect for the institution of the presidency, but not for it, ”added Zelensky.
Earlier, Poroshenko, while in the studio of the TV channel "1 + 1", invited Zelensky to the debate. As the president noted, “the evening, the city is free, you can get there in 40 minutes.”
Later, Zelensky contacted the studio on the phone, indicating that Poroshenko knows that he is in Paris.
The leader of the Batkivshchyna party, Yulia Tymoshenko, commenting on the verbal skirmish of Poroshenko and Zelensky, noted that she saw "the destruction of the post of president" and "the humiliation of the Ukrainian state."
