Zelenskiy: "If you appear before a judge, will you have the audacity to say it's a political persecution?"

Poroshenko: "I'm proud that Channel 5 has been a fair channel since 2003. In 2004, Channel 5 was the only channel that enabled the Orange Revolution.

"But the channel you work with is unashamedly spreading fakes and lies with the help of Russia, especially regarding me. It would be a good exercise for you to also answer questions by journalists from Channel 5. Will you be able to defend Ukraine's economy with Kolomoiskiy by your side?"

"Mr. Zelenskiy is a good artist, and perhaps a good man. But he is surrounded by people who are hovering around him, who ran away in 2013 and 2014 and now wish to return."

"Millions of Ukrainians will stand up and defend what we have built, in spite of your cohort who want to come back to Ukraine and take it over again."
