Presidential debate between Poroshenko and Zelensky in Kyiv Olympic Stadium

Kyiv, Ukraine, 19 April 2019. The final debate of the second round of Ukrainian presidential elections took place in the capital's Olympic Stadium. It opposed incumbent president Petro Poroshenko to Volodymyr Zelensky, a humorist and tv producer with no political background. Two stages were installed and each candidate was supposed to speak from each side of the stadium. But Poroshenko joined his opponent on his stage to debate.

10'000 policemen were mobilized to secure the event, where about 60'000 people were expected. Much fewer people actually came to the stadium, with a majority of Poroshenko's supporter.

The latest surveys give Zelensky about 70% of the votes. The second round will take place on Sunday the 21st of April.
