Ukranian Election: Zelensky challenges Poroshenko to a debate

Ukrainian Presidential candidate Volodymyr Zelensky has challenged Ukraine’s current leader to a debate.

Euronews reports that the Ukrainian Presidential candidate Volodymyr Zelensky has challenged Ukraine’s current leader to a debate.

“In a polished new video released Wednesday, comedian Zelensky, who has no political experience, challenged incumbent President Petro Poroshenko to a debate in the Olympic National Sports Complex in Kiev, which seats over 70,000 people.

Standing in a suit and tie in the middle of the empty stadium, the newcomer piled pressure on the current leader to accept his challenge, saying: “I give you 24 hours to decide. Think about it.”

A clock is now counting down on the Facebook page of his campaign.

Zelensky, who plays a fictional president on TV, grabbed international headlines this week when he led with just over 30% of votes in Ukraine’s presidential election on Sunday.
