Zelenskiy asks - did we really have to have two stages?
Crowd says 'No!'
Zelenskiy says: Let's applaud the people who have been bused in!
Zelenskiy: "I'm a simple guy from a simple place, and I'll fight for the people from whom the presidency was stolen in 2014. ...
Could we have imagined in 2014 that enriching the people of the country would enrich only his clique?
That ending the war would turn into Debaltseve and other massacres?"
Zelenskiy: "Poroshenko is a real master of eloquence when cameras are rolling. Otherwise, we have a completely different person. [With cameras on] he says Putin, I'll show you what I'm made of. When the cameras are off, he sends his greetings to Putin."
"When the cameras are off, he has enriched himself 800 times over."
Each candidate has one minute for questions, four minutes for answers.
Zelenskiy begins: 'Good evening, everyone.'
Announcers say Poroshenko and Zelenskiy will each have five minutes for introductory remarks. Announcer tosses coin, Zelenskiy gets to go first -- after the national anthem.
